How do you define when the lesson is learned?

I would personally think it would be a good indication of a lesson being learned if you both experience regret and would make a different choice given a similar situation in the future. What do you think?

Yes, sometimes that different choice can initially just be in your mind, telling yourself if this ever happens again, this is what I will focus on doing. I have lots of those in my mind. Thankfully repeat situations haven't come up, but I am prepared if they do. Kinda uses the DBT mindfulness thinking to be aware of the things & prepared

I would nowadays. Guess I worry about the future me though. I suppose that doesn't make too much sense either, does it..? Can't change the past, nor the future, only the present..?
You guys have given me a lot to think about. Thank you. I'm glad I shared.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
