On July 19th, we celebrate Toss Away the “Could Haves” and “Should Haves” Day.
As we navigate through life’s complexities, particularly in family law, it’s easy to get caught up in the past—reflecting on what could have been or what should have been. However, “Toss Away the ‘Could Haves’ and ‘Should Haves’ Day ' serves as a potent reminder to let go of regrets, focus on the present, and plan for a bright future.
Many clients grapple with feelings of regret regarding their relationships, decisions about custody, or financial arrangements. By acknowledging and then, significantly, releasing these feelings, the forward-thinking individual can navigate life with greater clarity. In short, you aren’t perfect; neither am I; not one of us is. You were making the best decision you could at the time, given the information you had. But mentally stewing over those decisions is only holding you back.
Today, we invite you to consider what regrets you can clear to make way for a New Phase of life. Whether you’re facing a divorce, child custody issues, or financial disputes, remember that the past does not define your future. Let’s take actionable steps today toward a fulfilling life ahead.
Our firm is here every step of the way to guide you in navigating your family law matters. Reach out to us today for a consultation at (719) 435-0555 or office@newphaselaw.com.
