Regrets?

[Nethermoor]

After living in Spain and getting a taste for poncy Spanish lager beers I thought I'd give that new stuff that they advertise on TV a try. All very good until the romance of cold Spanish beer in a sunny clime disappeared into the haze as I read on the back...Brewed in Burton On Trent by Moulson Coors Company Ltd

It's an anti climax.

I regret spending so much time in my younger days flapping about things I had no control over, worrying about "what might happen" & cringing about embarrassing things I'd done in the past.
These days, I never dwell on the past, but enjoy the present & look forward to positive events in the future.

How did you get over the fear of "what might happen"?
I worry like that too, any advice would be great

I just stopped trying to overthink things. I was spending hours awake in bed trying to run every possible outcome of situations in my head. Instead, I started to read or listen to music until I fell asleep

If you don't have any regrets, you haven't lived your life.

I hope I'm saying this in 10/20/30 years, I very much live in the past mental state you've described. I've flown a bit close to the wind with my nerves for most of my adult life (there was actually a series of events that I class as my "before and after"), but I think its definitely true to say that being at home for so long during Covid definitely served all my past discomforts to me on a very very big plate.

Happy to have a PM chat if you want. I was in the lucky position during lockdown to take stock of my work situation, have time to do the maths, get pension quotes, and quantify what I was going to do with my spare time & concluded it was time to take early retirement.
