Over deze aflevering

<p>When was the last time you thought about something you wish you'd done differently? </p> <p>A relationship you let drift apart. A mistake you wish you could take back. A conversation you keep putting off. A decision that you now realize was the wrong one. </p> <p>You’re not alone. Regret is actually one of the most common emotions people experience – and it’s the most misunderstood. </p> <p>That’s why Mel invited Daniel Pink, one of the most influential thinkers and authors of our time, to share the findings of his World Regret Survey, the largest study of human regret ever conducted, analyzing more than 26,000 regrets from people across 134 countries. </p> <p>After analyzing regrets from all around the world, his research has found that there are 4 core types of regrets, and based on what kind of regret you're dealing with, there are specific strategies that you can use to process it, learn from it, and move forward. </p> <p>You’re also going to be inspired to take action after hearing what other people regret the most, so you can live in a way that will avoid these regrets for yourself. </p> <p>In this episode, you’ll learn:</p> <p>-The 4 types of regret and how to recognize yours</p> <p>-The one type of regret that shows up more than any other</p> <p>-Why the things you didn't do will haunt you far more than the things you did, and what that tells you to go do today</p> <p>-Daniel's 3-step reset to stop repeating the same patterns and start moving forward</p> <p>-One simple move you can make today to stop repeating the same regret pattern</p> <p>This is not a conversation about the past. It's a conversation about what you do next.</p> <p>Because after studying 26,000 regrets, the answer is clear:</p> <p>You can't change what happened. You can change what happens next.</p> <p>For more resources related to today’s episode, <a href="https://www.melrobbins.com/episode/episode-398/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">click here</a> for the podcast episode page.  </p> <p>If you liked the episode, check out this one next: <a href="https://www.melrobbins.com/episode/episode-344" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">This One Study Will Change How You Think About Your Entire Life: The Cornell Legacy Project</a></p> <p>Connect with Mel:  </p> <p> </p> <ul> <li><a href="https://puregeniusprotein.com/MP" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Order Mel’s new product, Pure Genius Protein</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.melrobbins.com/newsletter/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Get Mel’s newsletter, packed with tools, coaching, and inspiration.</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/1401971369?tag=lnk0001-20&geniuslink=true" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Get Mel’s #1 bestselling book, The Let Them Theory</a></li> <li><a href="https://bit.ly/45OWCNr" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Watch the episodes on YouTube</a></li> <li><a href="https://bit.ly/3QfG8bb" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Follow Mel on Instagram </a></li> <li><a href="https://bit.ly/49bg4GP" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The Mel Robbins Podcast Instagram</a></li> <li><a href="https://bit.ly/46Kpw2v" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Mel's TikTok </a></li> <li><a href="https://siriusxm.supportingcast.fm/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Subscribe to SiriusXM Podcasts+ to listen to new episodes ad-free</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.melrobbins.com/disclaimer" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Disclaimer</a></li> </ul><br/> <p>Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
