Day 88 : Facing Regret: A Journey of Self-Forgiveness and Real Change
For years, the emotion of regret held me hostage. Whether it was regrets about past choices, sexual energy experiences, missed opportunities, or moments where I betrayed my integrity — it was like a weight I couldn't drop.
But through walking with TechnoTutor, self-forgiveness, and daily breathing awareness, I realized:
Regret is not punishment.
It is a message from the past — asking to be faced, understood, and finally released.
🔎 What is Regret?
Regret is the emotional consequence of judging ourselves for the past — feeling that we should have acted differently, been better, more in control, or more aware. But as I dug deeper, I saw that regret was often just a loop:
- Regret → Shame → Addiction behavior → More regret
So I decided to interrupt that cycle with self-honesty.
🧭 Self-Forgiveness Statements on Regret
Here are some of the self-forgiveness statements I walked. I share them here for anyone also carrying this heavy emotion:
- I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to define myself through regret.
- I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to believe that I cannot change because of what I’ve done in the past.
- I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to hold onto regret as a form of self-punishment, instead of directing myself into change.
- I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to use regret as a reason to give up on my commitments.
- I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to create energy of regret in my solar plexus instead of breathing and facing my actions with self-responsibility.
- I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to believe that regret gives me control — when in fact, it keeps me locked in the past.
📌 Self correction and application
When and as see myself reacting with regret, I stop and breathe. I no longer allow regret to define who I am. When it comes up:
- I breathe.
- I face the memory or emotion.
- I forgive myself and walk my correction.
- I remember: the past cannot be changed, but who I am in relation to it can.
🧘♂️ Self commitments
I commit myself to use regret as a tool for learning, not suffering.
I commit myself to stop punishing myself for who I was and instead choose who I am now.
I commit myself to live presence, self-direction, and inner trust.
