We can at least them.

And I really think that's it. Now, we can bring those techniques to bear on our own problems, but we have to be deliberate and intentional about that by doing these kinds of sort of like Jedi mind tricks to self-distance.

We can see a benefit in them, which is why we can process them and make sense of them. Some action regrets, we can also undo. All those people who have bullying regrets, more regrets, it's an action.

And again, truly two takeaways from this for your listeners. One, Ask them out too. If you're stuck on a decision, ask yourself, what would I tell my best friend to do? And then do that.
