How do you avoid agonizing over an unchosen option?

<p>Life is full of choices. Sometimes you pick one and it doesn't turn out like you'd hoped. It's easy to fall into a pit of "what if" rumination. </p> <p>What if I'd done the other thing? If only I'd done the other thing.</p> <p>But doing that doesn't allow us to move forward from where we are. </p> <p>I asked Dina Perreault, Anita Toth and Gary Fredericks what they did in situations like that. </p> <p>We all agreed that it's okay to feel sad and even mourn that the choice you made didn't work out. Then what, if anything, can you learn? Finally, what next?</p> <p>It has been said with age comes wisdom. Wisdom comes from making mistakes and learning from them. We are kinda destined to make the wrong choice sometimes.</p> <p>What about you? How do you keep yourself from beating yourself up over choices you've made?</p> <p>Connect with the panelists: Dina Perreault: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dinaperreault/  Anita Toth: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anitamtoth/  Gary Fredericks: https://www.linkedin.com/in/garyfredericks/  Dr Robyn Odegaard: https://www.linkedin.com/in/robynodegaard/</p> <p>Want a summary of the five Quick Hits I post every week, plus the links to the LinkedIn pages of each of the panelist to show up in your in-box every week?
