“A man is not old until regrets take the place of dreams” – John Barrymore
It is true that as you move on in life, your regrets keep growing. Finally the weight of regrets becomes so huge that you are bogged down by it. So would not it be good to just get up every time you fell, dust off your clothes and move on with life with no regrets whatsoever? Sadly, it is not that simple. No one regrets by choice. But then again it does not mean that you cannot do anything about it. Read this interesting piece and learn how to live life with no regrets.

1. Live life on your own terms

Do not get crushed under the expectations of others. It is your life and it is for you to decide what is good for you. So the next time someone says that your performance was not up to the mark, just politely ask them to mind their own business.

2. Look at the bright side of things

Well, it might sound cliché but it is the secret of happiness. Whenever something bad happens, instead of brooding over it for the rest of your mortal existence, just say to yourself that it could have been worse.

3. Nurture a sense of humor

There might be some who would have fallen off their chairs at this remark, but honestly we just asked you to develop a sense of humor and not wings. Laugh off your mistakes rather than regretting them and going into a shell.

4. Get spiritual

Some people confuse spiritualism with religion. But spiritualism simply means to connect with your inner being through prayer, meditation or Yoga. It works wonders in relieving stress and developing a positive energy within you.

5. Do not stay idle

Invest your time not only in your work but also in pursuing some hobby so that you would not have to regret later that you did not utilize your time well.

6. Stop whining

Nothing comes out of complaining. If you cannot see the funny side of things or move on, then at least have the strength and resolution to correct yourself so that you do not repeat your mistakes.

7. Get out of your room

Go out with friends, meet new people, travel to places and enjoy nature. This way, you will not only learn new things but you will also never have any scope for regret. The world is beautiful. See it for yourself.

These are just a few things you can follow to keep regret at bay. Men since time immemorial have tried to fathom means of getting over regret and getting happiness but few have succeeded. But then again, there is nothing wrong in trying. Change now and live life with no regrets!
