National Toss Away the Could Haves and Should Haves Day



Today is… NATIONAL TOSS AWAY THE “COULD HAVES” AND “SHOULD HAVES” DAY


Across the United States, the third Saturday in July recognizes Toss Away the “Could Haves” and “Should Haves” Day. In short, don’t go through life with regrets.

Created by author and motivational speaker Martha J. Ross-Rodgers, this day is intended for everyone to let go of the past and live for the present.


One way to do that is to write down all your “could haves” and “should haves” on the paper, then, throw away the list or burn 🔥 it.

Once you have thrown your “could haves” and “should haves” in the trash, make the following resolution:


“From this day forward, I choose not to live in the past. The past is history that I can not change. I can do something about the present; I choose to live in the present.”
