Regret is bad for your health!

"When the grief becomes a habit" sang De Andrè in The Hole (musical version of Antoine Paul homology poetry), but there are some who lives his life looking forward, and then only without regret, without taking into consideration! Regret is an unpleasant feeling, I think that nobody can be immune, unless it is totally insensitive or with a personality and consciousness of iron, however, regret is bad for our health.

Regret is bad for your health, experts say affects the immune system and the hormone that, over time, become weakened. A research conducted by medical researchers at Concordia University in Toronto and published in the Journal Personality and Social Psychology, have decreed that the De Andrè thought is the most "destructive" to the high rate of depression.

The regrets are typical of adulthood, especially when you make choices from which it is not easy to go back, a marriage that does not work, the work takes too much time with the family, in situations where you are stuck. Isabelle Bauer, author of the study and professor of Concordia's Department of Psychology and Centre for Research in Human Development, said: "When you regret something, many are confronted with others and this is a mechanism for a double-edged: in fact, look at who we think feel better about us heightens our regret, while those made look worse, it is reduced.

In our study who were advised to use the technique of winning comparison reported an improvement in their sense of wellbeing that lasted for months. " So the solution to regret it ... look at who is worse off than us! In your opinion, does it work?
