How to use "Retrogress" in context?
The word "retrogress" carries with it a negative connotation, implying a step back in progress. But progress can also be viewed as a retrogression, as it can be a step back from where we once were. We need to be cautious not to fall into the trap of labeling every step backward as a retrogression.
In some cases, a step back may be the best thing for us. When we are stuck in a rut, a step back may help us find our way out. We must be cautious not to move too quickly or radically in our change, as this could lead to stagnation.
