Today's Meditation - Eliminate Regrets

By Jane Powell - www.MeditationsForWomen.com

“Anything that you should have done, but didn’t, ties you to your past.”

Is your mental and emotional clutter getting in the way of a fulfilling life? It’s time to clean out the “need-to’s,” “have-to’s,” and “ought-to’s,” from your past. When you have regrets it’s tough to move forward and grow.

Put the past in the past. Return anything you borrowed.  Make apologies where needed. Get your bills up to date. Send the card or gift you forgot to send. Make the phone call you need to make.

Taking care of these things cleans your mental slate and eliminates any regrets or resentments you may harbor.

Now, take a deep breath; look ahead. Both your conscience, and your future vision, is clear.

    This is soooo true. my sister just passed away. I have no regrets in our relationship. Even though she passed suddenly, my conscience is clear when it comes to the way I treated her. I was always there for her, we always said "Love you" at the end of most phone conversations. I stopped by to visit her just to sit and talk, enjoy each others company. We called each other often. She was older than myself, so I called often to get her opinion of things and her input of Life in general. Always, treat others the way you want to be treated and you'll never have regrets.....even when they pass on. RIP *Christine*

    I agree - leave the past in the past and live your life with no regrets. After my divorce, I also learned that I was trying to place myself in the same box or identity even though it really did not exist any longer. I literally needed to think outside the box!
