My heart is weak

Is there a way to have a heart where you can act without worrying about something that bothers you?
Also, I can't get my regrets or bad things out of my head.
What kind of way of thinking should we live our lives easily?

What kind of “ease” is that?

 Hello. Do you think it's like “what should I do if I fail like this” arises about whether or not to do something, and you are unable to take a step forward.
It says “unable to act,” but it probably means “extremely careful.”
① You've lived through that way of life. There is no doubt that they have avoided risk by not acting. In that sense, they must have already “lived an easy life.” Ease as a result. Changing the way we do it now goes hand in hand with being prepared to take risks.
② If you want to change your behavior patterns even if there are risks, think about small tricks to stop your own hesitation. Once you've decided to “do it,” write it on your Todo list. If you don't do it, it just keeps piling up more and more. While looking at them, he said, “If this is the case, the risk seems low. I'll try starting with something I thought “looks like I can go.” Of course, you can make that assessment carefully.
Not writing because you don't know if you can do it is bad behavior in this case. Then it's the same as before. This writing act is driving oneself in a sense, so it's probably painful, but it can be said that it is a method of “changing behavior relatively safely” that I think. If this is painful, then “easy” for you probably means “not doing it.”
③ I'm going to do something ridiculous and ridiculous. Bungee jumping or something. Once you've had an amazing experience, you'll be able to think “it might be better than that.” The bungee was fine, so it's not that big of a deal. One idea is to “let ourselves be experienced” in such a way (our training probably also has this element).
So I've listed the three, but what they all have in common is that they are not a “way of thinking.” Your current fears and prudence are based on past experiences, so I think the most important thing is to act firsthand rather than respond to words such as “it's OK, 100 times.”

Be compassionate to yourself

Thank you Choko-sama for your consultation.

An event you regret, a bad feeling, or something that bothers you no matter what.
People have various problems.
If you're alive, you'll follow along.
But heal yourself, be compassionate to yourself,
By feeling safe and secure,
Accept that worry and suffering and try to reduce it
You can act with strong feelings and courage.
It's fine. Anyone can be considerate of themselves.
Let's start by showing compassion.
The key word is “self-compassion.”
According to the Buddhist interpretation, it means developing one's own sense of compassion.
Please refer to it. One bow

Get away quickly from delusional distractions

The mind is impermanent, disappearing and being replaced by a new mind moment by moment.
However, when thoughts are immersed in delusional distractions about the past and future, bad feelings (stress) will be prolonged.
Therefore, it is necessary to make a habit of quickly moving away (quickly resetting thoughts and feelings) from the past, future, delusional thoughts about oneself (value), and others, and the imposing circle of thoughts that stir emotions in the same information.
For example, a heart drowning in a torrent of delusional distractions related to greed, anger, laziness, and pride
Namu Amida Buddha
By chanting nembutsu, you can instantly return to a safe road (the road leading to the Pure Land of Paradise).
Or Gategatha Haragaat
By casting a spell that appears in the Heart Sutra, you reset your mind, which is steeped in delusional distractions.
Also, since thoughts boil down in the same information, I think it's a good idea to take a step forward to obtain new information.
