Today’s topic: REGRET!
“They flutter behind you your possible pasts—some bright-eyed and crazy, some frightened and lost.” Today Jess and I will be talking about the lives we’ve led—the lives we’ve failed to lead—and how to deal with regret when it makes its presence known. Is regret something that mindfulness can help us avoid? Should we even be trying to avoid regret? Or is this merely a semantic problem—if we simply redefine what we’re talking about when we talk about regret, might we regret less?
Our super special guest:
Yong Oh, of Durango Dharma Center and Chattanooga Insight.
