Reframe A Big Purchase Regret

You bought the sofa, the car, the holiday package, and now three weeks later you can't stop running the numbers in your head. This separates the decision you made from how it turned out, and gives you one practical thing to carry forward instead of just guilt.

**Reframe** the regret described below into something more useful than self-criticism.
1. Acknowledge what happened without minimising it.
2. Separate the decision from the outcome, noting that a reasonable decision can still lead to a disappointing result.
3. Offer one practical, forward-looking step, such as a simple checklist for the next big purchase.
