How do you regret-proof your life?
My friend Suzy is a regret-proofing coach.
I love her message.
I hadn’t put a name to it, but I realized recently that I’ve started to regret-proof my life.
Last week I took my kids on a getaway that I’ve wanted to do for 12 years. 12 years – can you believe I waited so long? It was a 30-minute drive and cost a little more than a car payment… and yet, I waited.
Why do we wait? Sometimes we don’t feel we can justify spending money.
Sometimes we think there will be a “better time.” Or that it will be “too much work,” or “too crowded.”
None of these were good enough reasons for me to put it off one more day.
I packed their bags without them knowing, picked them up early and surprised them! I think it was more exciting for me than for them…
What have you been waiting for? Putting off? Questioning if it’s worth doing?
If it’s been on your mind for a while – perhaps you should consider doing it.
Take the trip. Try something new. Spend time with the people who matter the most.
My guess is, you won’t regret it.
Have a great day, one thought at a time!
