In the strictest sense, death IS a health topic. After all, dying is an inevitable part of our lifecycle.
But what I want to talk about today isn’t death specifically, but dying regrets.
Because they have everything to do with your quality of life right now.
I want to share with you the TOP SEVEN regrets people express at the end of their lives.
Because avoiding them can improve your life RIGHT NOW and LATER on your deathbed.
I’m a big believer in working as HARD as we can to be as HEALTHY as possible.
After all, it gives us more time to devote to the things that really matter.
If you, too, want to live a long and fulfilling life, you’ll want to avoid these common dying regrets:
- Not being yourself: Many people say they’re sorry they didn’t have the guts to live according to their values, dreams, and goals because of societal or family pressures.
- Working too much: A lot of folks say they regret putting their jobs ahead of spending time with loved ones, pursuing personal interests, or maintaining a good work-life balance.
- Hiding feelings: Many wish they’d been more open and honest with the people they love about their feelings. They feel bad they didn’t resolve problems, express thanks, or show affection.
- Not nurturing relationships: Not devoting enough time and effort to nourishing relationships with family, friends, and romantic partners was a common regret.
- Ignoring physical and mental health: Ignoring your physical and mental health can lead to guilt later in life. People often say they regret not putting their health first, not paying attention to signs of stress or illness, or not getting help when needed.
- Suppressing dreams and goals: Many regret not taking chances on their dreams or following their passions. This includes putting off travel, hobbies, or artistic projects that could have made them happy and fulfilled.
- Not appreciating the present: Regrets often come from not fully living in the moment. Instead of enjoying the simple joys and everyday beauty surrounding them, they focused on (and fretted about) the past or the future.
These common dying regrets can serve as valuable lessons for the rest of us.
They highlight the importance of living authentically, nurturing relationships, prioritizing well-being, and pursuing what truly matters before death comes knocking at the door.
