New Year’s resolutions are a great idea... in theory. In practice, they’re not usually so great. How many of your New Year’s resolutions have been as life-changing as you’d hoped they’d be?

We all have moments when we look back at our choices and wish we could change them.“I wish I hadn’t done that.” “I want a do over.” “If only.”We might feel bitter towards ourselves for perceived flaws or failures or envy others' successes.
