No longer regretting things I thought were dumb that I'd done

Sometimes I have to do something I regret--meaning, something that makes me feel sick inside, like I've hurt my insides in a profound way. Sometimes I have to do that something more than once to realize I need to practice a new behavior. Being open to the learning is, to me, an important step to honoring myself.

Finally I can accept that my mis-steps or mis-takes are part of my growth. When I was younger I used to be so ashamed of all the things I'd done that didn't work. Now I no longer regret. This tells me I'm older (in a good way) that I might feel. And this kind of older is a good thing.
