Activity 65 | What If’s

Objective: To embrace self-awareness and growth by reflecting on past what-ifs, appreciating the present, making informed decisions, letting go of regrets, and using insights as motivation to take action, fostering both personal and professional development.

INSTRUCTIONS: BEFORE STARTING THE ACTIVITY, MAKE SURE TO READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS FROM TOP TO BOTTOM.

Think of a past decision you regret or an opportunity you didn’t take—one that still makes you wonder, what if? This could be a career move, a relationship choice, a financial decision, or any risk you hesitated to take.

Describe the scenario: Begin by forming a detailed picture of the moment in your imagination. What was the opportunity or decision you regretted not taking? Why did you choose the path you did? What were your thoughts and emotions at that time?

Imagine the alternative path: Imagine how your life might have changed if you had made a different choice. Would you be in a different place, with different people, or pursuing a different passion? How might this alternate reality feel—better, worse, or simply different?

Reflect on the lessons: Shift the focus to what you’ve learned from this experience. How did this decision shape your present? What wisdom or realization did you gain, even from regret?
