In order not to regret
Things we can change today 🫶
There are three regrets.
1. I took my health for granted
→ Ignoring the accident of the body saying "It's still okay"
By the time you realize it's too late
Health is a treasure you only realize 💦
4. I should have done filial piety while my parents were healthy
I thought, "I can meet you anytime."
Filial piety can only be done when parents are healthy 😢
Call me today before you regret it.
I should have said thank you.
I thought, "You should understand."
We broke up without a word of thanks 💕
Now there's still time.
There were many other regrets
2. Worked too much / Prioritized work too much
No one talks about work before they die.
What my family wanted was time, not money 💼
I should have spent more time with my family.
I grew up while saying "See you next time."
Time you can't get back 👨👩👧👦
5. I procrastinated what I wanted to do
Someday of "Let's do it someday" will not come
Start doing what you want to 😢
6. Too much trying to meet the expectations of others
I lived someone else's life.
I regret that I really wanted to do this 💔
7. I should have lived like myself
Continued to compare with others.
I wanted to live more freely 😣
8. I should have cherished today
I thought there was tomorrow.
Everyday life was a treasure ✨
9. I should have laughed more
I thought too seriously.
I was happy to spend days with a smile 😊

この記事では「死ぬときに後悔すること10選」を紹介しましたが、検索で多いのは「25項目リスト」。私自身も“見える化”しておくと行動に移しやすかったので、追加の15項目を補足としてまとめます(すでに挙げた10個:健康・働きすぎ・家族の時間・親孝行・先延ばし・他人の期待・自分らしさ・今日を大切に・笑う・ありがとう も含めて定期的に見返すのがおすすめです)。 【死ぬ時に後悔すること:追加15選(合計25の補足)】 11. 友人に連絡を取らなかった(疎遠のまま時間が過ぎる) 12. 大切な人と和解しなかった(意地のまま終わる) 13. 好きと言えなかった(照れや遠慮で伝えない) 14. きちんと謝らなかった(小さな誤解が残る) 15. 旅行や景色を見に行かなかった(体力があるうちが動ける) 16. 学び直しをしなかった(本・資格・語学など) 17. 趣味や遊びを後回しにした(“余裕ができたら”は来にくい) 18. 貯金・保険・家計の見直しを放置した(不安が増える) 19. 住まい・持ち物を整えなかった(片付けは未来の自分への贈り物) 20. 健診や定期検診を先延ばしにした(「まだ大丈夫」が一番危ない) 21. 食事・睡眠・運動を軽く見た(体が資本だと痛感する) 22. ストレスを抱え込み続けた(相談・休む・距離を取るが大事) 23. お金より時間の使い方を優先できなかった(家族が欲しいのは時間) 24. 自分の価値観を言葉にしなかった(何を大事にしたいか曖昧なまま) 25. 写真・記録・思い出を残さなかった(振り返れる材料が少ない) 【今日からできる“後悔しない”ためのミニ実践】 ・親に電話する:用事がなくても「元気?」の一言だけでOK ・ありがとうを伝える:LINEでもいいので“具体的に”書く(例:昨日の送迎ありがとう) ・やりたいことリストを作る:10個書いて、今週できる最小の一歩を1つ決める ・定期検診を予約する:予定を入れるだけで実行率が上がる ・家族との時間を先に確保:仕事の“残り時間”ではなくカレンダーに固定 私が特に効いたのは、「今日を大切にする」を“予定に入れる”ことでした。大きく人生を変えようとしなくても、1日1個だけ行動(電話・予約・感謝の言葉)を積むと、後悔しやすいポイントが少しずつ減っていきます。保存して、疲れた日にまた見返してください。
