They start focusing on what can be done now not what could’ve been different. Regret doesn’t rewrite the past but it can shape the next move. Peace shows up when the energy spent on what’s gone gets redirected to what’s still possible.
How do people stop overthinking choices that can’t be changed?

Well said! Focusing on what’s next instead of what’s past brings peace and progress
By reminding themselves that no amount of replaying it will rewrite it. You did the best you could with what you knew then. Now it’s about what you do next.
Shift your focus to what you can do now instead of dwelling on past choices. Use regret as a guide to shape future actions, finding peace by directing energy toward what’s still possible.
You just gotta remind yourself it’s okay to let go. Focus on what’s next, not what’s behind. Small steps help more than you think
