Some things are possible, and some things are not, but the boundary between them isn't always as easy to determine as we might imagine. We often set the boundary ourselves, decreeing that "I can't do that" when there is no objective rational reason why 'that' is impossible. We just believe that it's impossible.

You might have particular memories that you keep dwelling on, that cause you anger or sadness, or give you a real sense of frustration that you can’t go back in time and chang

Perhaps you can think of a time you avoided a particular situation, or you didn’t participate in a particular activity, because you didn’t want to risk making a mistake and looking foolish in front of others. Or maybe you can recall getting negative feedback from a boss, or a bad mark in an exam, and it felt really painful, maybe even devastating to you at the time.
