Your Regrets Haunt You

You may not realize it but you think about your regrets A LOT! Well, not more than sex, but quite a bit. According to a new survey, the average person spends 44 minutes a week thinking about their regrets.  That’s a little over six minutes a day or over 38 hours a year.  What are most people regretting? Check out the top 10 list after the jump and see if they match the things that YOU regret. I would have to say, I’m 9 out of 10 on these.

 
#1.)  Not having saved more money.
#2.)  Not having worked harder at school.
#3.)  Not having exercised more.
#4.)  Not doing enough traveling or seeing the world.
#5.)  Taking up smoking.
#6.)  Not keeping in touch with people.
#7.)  Not taking better care of your body when you were younger.
#8.)  Not appreciating someone before they died.
#9.)  Not taking more photographs growing up.
#10.)  Getting married too early.
Overall, the average person fixates on two of those regrets.  83% take the blame for their own regrets . . . 17% blame someone else.  And two-thirds of people say they’ve learned from their mistakes.
