If you had a chance for a "do-over" in life, what would you do differently?

Go to med school, even though it takes is at least 9 Years, and be nicer to my mum.0

Taken up a sport seriously & not let things get to me so much, wish I could be more care free about things.0

I wish that my parents or teachers had really explained the importance of health and fitness rather than stressing that I would be happy focussing on a high end career with a huge amount of pressure. I wish I had understood that I should have done something I loved and enjoyed.1

Probably skip the first husband
Totes! I married my first husband knowing full well I was in love with my high school sweet heart. We did end up together and have a beautiful daughter now but it would have been easier to woman up and tell him how I felt rather than not say it and half *kitten* it with someone else.
Otherwise I would tell my pre teen self to stay myself. Not to change who I am over and over to try to fit in.1 -
My policy is generally to live without regrets, as one decision and life choice generally flows from the next, but if somehow magically I could go back and change things given some foreknowledge, I would:
Not go on the pill in college, as it contributed to the health problems that led to my weight gain and migraines down the road;
Not become vegetarian for the same reason (years of carb loading and avoiding protein didn't help at all);
Not dated a lot of the people I dated;
Stood up for myself a lot more often;
Not wasted money on as much silly stuff and avoided things that got me into debt.0 -
I would have learned certain Karmic lessons a little earlier in life.
Loving another human being is the hardest thing any of us will ever do. The worthiness of the endeavor is best summed up for me in a scene from the movie "Contact":
"...in all our searching, the only thing we've found that makes the emptiness bearable, is each other."https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRPUO6gGSh8
I don't regret loving any of the people who have been, are, or will be in my life.

I would have ignored women and focused on school earlier and not gained this 60lbs. I wanted to be a scientist and now I have to settle for nursing. Still going to get my PhD. I don't care I want to leave a mark on this world0

I used to be really shy...so it would be to not let my shyness and fear hold me back from life. I'm not really shy anymore but I wasted too much time being that way.0

Tough one. I would not have married my 1st husband, but if I didn't do that, I wouldn't have my 3 kids, who are totally my life. Hmmmmmm.0
