You can’t change your past, but you can reframe it.
In life, you can certainly have the right to regret your decisions, but how does that serve you? Does it serve you to continue to dwell on how terrible the decision you made was? Or does it serve you to reframe it and think differently, to think more positively about it?
No matter what bad personal decision you have made, you can learn something from it. And you must learn to look for and seek out the lessons from it. If you don’t look for the lesson, you will miss it.
One of my best examples of this from my own life is when in 2016, I made the decision to leave my well-paying job as a data scientist… to move all the way to Arizona to pursue a degree in atmospheric science…
Moving out West was a complete bust. Or was it?! How could I reframe that period in my life?
There are four main questions that I’ve developed to help me reframe past events or past choices in my life.
1) What can you learn from that experience that you can use going forward in life?
2) What positive traits did you exhibit during that experience that you can be proud of? Another way to ask that question is what did you accomplish during that period that was positive?
3) What are you going to do going forward to make up for the time you lost… or the money you lost? And more so, how can you accelerate the timeline to make up for what you’ve lost?
4) What can you be thankful for from that experience? Because gratitude is the key to opening up more doors.
