How to Avoid Getting Stuck in Regret

Do you ever feel sorry because of things you did or didn’t do? Do you ever wish you could change things that happened in the past?

Most of us do.

We’ve made some mistakes we regret. In some way we’ve fallen short of all we wanted to do and be and all God wants for us. We fail to live up the ideal. The original Greek word for sin simply means to fall short. We all can admit to falling short in some area of our lives.

Now when we think about those things we can sometimes get stuck, living in regret.

An Unending Source of Strength

Is it hard for you to get up in the morning?

Do you need seven cups of coffee to keep energized for the day? Maybe it’s not coffee but some other substance you depend on. 

My friend, Sue told me, “I need several cans of coke a day to keep me going. Then sometimes I can’t sleep at night because I had too much. The problem is I can’t get through the day without it.”

Do you feel yourself start to lag in the afternoon and wonder how you can make through the day?  Maybe there are driving pressures at work, difficult people you live or work with that drain your energy.

Stress Management – 5 Benefits of Quietness

“True silence is the rest of the mind; it is to the spirit what sleep is to the body, nourishment and refreshment.”  ~William Penn

If you feel you are on the go constantly and you feel stressed, then you might be overlooking a simple way to manage your stress. What is that simple way?

Quietness.

When you intentionally create quiet times, you can find relief from stress.  You can take time when you wake up and before you go to bed to have a quiet time.  As part of your routine, make time during the day, to pause, be quiet and think for a couple of minutes. You can even set a side time during the day depending on your need and the time you have.
