We’ve all had experiences that we wish we could go back and change. Even assuming we couldn’t prevent a difficult situation from happening, we’d like to change the way we handled it, rephrase what we said. Since that’s never an option, we need to get things right the first time. The power to stop a rambling mind and settle disturbed emotions so that we can evaluate a stressful situation is inherent in the heart of each person. When we use that power, consciously acting from a point of heart balance, we lessen our need for regret because we connect more naturally with what our real self - not our reactive self - wants to think or do.
