Although changing your mental image of yourself is not easy, it is possible. To do it, remind yourself that a selfie captures but a moment in time linked to a particular environment and communication context. Photos are frozen in time. We are not. Thus, while our memories are important and help us construct our sense of who we are, we need to keep the mental picture we carry with us current. By doing this, we will be better able to discount images that no longer accurately represent us, and thereby avoid focusing on regrets—“the lost lives, lost selves a person could have lived or been if s/he had done a few things differently.”⁶⁶
