    Can You Live With No Regrets?

    Podcast Summary

    • Embrace Regret as a Neutral EmotionRecognize regret as a neutral emotion, allow yourself to feel it, learn from the experience, and use it as a stepping stone towards making better choices in the future

      While regret may have a negative connotation, it's important to recognize that all emotions, including regret, are neutral. It's not about avoiding regret, but rather acknowledging it and allowing yourself to process it. When we resist or suppress regret, it can limit our ability to move forward. Instead, give yourself permission to feel the emotion, understand the reason behind it, and learn from the experience. Regret can serve as a valuable lesson and an opportunity for growth. So the next time you experience regret, take a deep breath, examine the emotion, and use it as a stepping stone towards making better choices in the future.

    • Embrace emotions for self-discoveriesAllow yourself to feel and learn from all emotions, including uncomfortable ones, for personal growth.

      Allowing yourself to experience and explore emotions, even those that may be uncomfortable or unwanted, can lead to valuable self-discoveries. Regret, for instance, can provide opportunities for learning about yourself and your values. So, instead of avoiding or suppressing emotions, try embracing them and see what insights you might gain. Remember, every emotion is an opportunity for growth. And for more daily positivity and inspiration, be sure to follow us on Instagram @officialeverydaypositivity.

    #248 How To Make Your Mistakes Your Superpower with Daniel Pink

    #248 How To Make Your Mistakes Your Superpower with Daniel Pink

    What do you regret in your life? When I asked this question on social media a few weeks back, I was surprised by how many of you were quick to share the things you wish you’d done – or not done. There were others who take a ‘no regrets’ approach to life. It’s clearly a topic that resonates. And my guest on today’s podcast has an interesting and useful take on why that is.


    Daniel Pink is a bestselling author and researcher specialising in human behaviour, creativity, work and business. His books have won multiple awards, have been translated into 42 different languages and he has sold millions of copies around the globe. In his latest book, The Power of Regret: How Looking Backwards Moves Us Forwards, Dan asserts that regret is a misunderstood and useful emotion that when used correctly, can help us lead happier, more fulfilled lives. The key, he says, is to recognise it as a signal, telling us what we should do next.


    Through Dan’s extensive research, he’s identified four core categories of regret. He found that no matter what the context, be it romance, career, travel or family, people’s feelings fell into one of these four camps: Boldness Regrets (‘if only I’d taken the chance’); Foundation Regrets (‘if only I’d done the work’); Moral Regrets (‘if only I’d done the right thing’) and Connection Regrets (‘if only I’d reached out’).


    Society tells us not to look back and instead to focus on the positive. But Dan’s view is that regrets aren’t there to be ignored. Sitting with the discomfort of a regret allows us to unpick it and understand what our values are. No regrets, says Dan, means no growth.


    We cover so many different themes throughout the conversation and Dan shares plenty of practical advice on how we can use regret to improve our now and our future.


    I really enjoyed chatting with Dan and I think this is a powerful conversation that will cause you to reflect on your own life and your own relationship with regret. I hope you enjoy listening!

    Brain in the Game – Sport Mind Coaching Podcast: Episode #9 – A lesson in Mental Toughness – hosted by Dave Diggle

    A Lesson in Mental Toughness

     

    A lot of emphasis is placed on the mental toughness of athletes these days, so in this episode we explore what it takes for an athlete to push through when others would fold.

     

    Every athlete gets impacted by their emotions and, if unchecked and uncontrolled, it can lead to choking. So if we don’t manage the fall out and, better still, immunise against it happening in the future - it really can be a career ender. 

     

    When we talk about mental toughness it isn’t about just being strong of mind, it’s about being emotionally bought into the outcome, what the big picture is and having emotional buy-in to that.

    Emotions shouldn’t be making our decisions for us. Emotions are categorisations; they enable us to categorise things in an efficient way and in normal life that’s great, they work fairly well. But as an elite athlete under competition, when you don’t always win every time, you don’t want the emotions or the pain of the past memories, dictating how you play now.

     

    So we discuss tangible resources to manage and avoid the mental doubts that can cause competition choking, lower anxiety and ensure you feel far more in control.

     

    We discuss the three approaches that, when put in conjunction with each other, can enable an athlete to bypass the emotional baggage they’ve built up over the years and build better neural pathways by associating a positive outcome to that choice
