How to use "Un-doing" in context?
One of the most important skills that an individual can possess is the ability to un-do what has been done before. Failure to learn how to undo mistakes results in disastrous consequences. The same is true for our personal relationships. un-doing our past hurts us, and prevents us from having the relationships that would be most beneficial to us.
Here are five ways to help you learn the art of un-doing:
1. Recognize when you've made a mistake.
2. Own up to your mistakes.
3. Surround yourself with people who will help you learn and grow.
