I keep making the mistake of thinking about things that I can’t go back in time to change.
I am self-aware enough to know that doing this is useless but every so often, I do find myself repeating this over and over until I remind myself to think about other things.
Usually I’m successful and at other times, I’m not.
It’s just how things go right?
What’s one mistake you keep repeating (and repeating)?
The same mistake I keep repeating is trying to reconnect with old friends from like 10 – 20 years ago. Somehow I think that we can go back to where our friendship left off but it’s never that way and I just end up getting disappointed and angry with myself.

At least you realize that your efforts aren’t reaping the results you want and that it may be time to move on.

Oh this is a good one. Bad relationships. But I dropped this habit and life is good.

I’ve done the same, but remember, different decisions could change our current reality. Not sure I’m ready for that! 😀

Oh my God! This should have been mine. I can’t believe I didn’t think of it. If only I could go back and change my post. 😉 I’m the freaking queen of dwelling in the past. I do it over and over again. I know it’s pointless and makes me feel terrible, yet I do it anyway. I talk to my NP about this problem at nearly every appointment. Those terrible decisions I made… how I wish I had done things differently… how much better my life could have been. I do it so much. Sometimes, I can’t remember anything else I did in a day because all I can remember is dwelling on the past all day.
