A short conversational transcript from a YouTube video by Heather Aardema in which Heather discusses the fear of regretting decluttering decisions. The dialogue centers on a listener worried about discarding multiple screwdrivers and Heather reframes the concern: the regret is unlikely and, if it occurs, will be transient.
What if I regret something?
Don't let that be a stalling technique.
I was speaking to somebody the other.
Day, and he said, heather, I use.
A lot of screwdrivers, and there's lots of different kinds of screwdrivers.
And what if.
I regret.
Decluttering.
Some of the screwdrivers? And I'm afraid I might feel regret. And that's happened in the past. And so I said.
Well, when did.
That happen in the past? And he took.
A moment, thought about it. He's like, well, actually.
It hasn't happened. I just, I was.
Just thinking it could have happened.
So the likelihood.
The great.
Likelihood is that you're not going.
To feel regret.
And if you do, you get to remind yourself that.
Regret, it.
Will come and go.
So you get to remind yourself that regret is simply a feeling and that if it comes, it will also go.
