How should I let go of an obsessive, negative mindset?

Hello. I'd like advice on how one should let go of an obsessive, negative mindset. To be more specific, I've realised along the years that my thoughts inevitably drift back to a few pivotal moments in which I've made a decision that I've regretted and how much better/wholesome my life would have been had I made a different choice. Perhaps some examples would be the choice of school I went to the actions which have soured some of my relationships. I suppose my thoughts also drift towards the direction of regretting not having made use of my time to the fullest potential (i guess in a way squandering whatever chance/opportunities i was given to improve).

I'm really tired of it all and I'd just like to settle into a position where I suppose my thoughts don't revolve around a single, toxic concept for the rest of my life. To this end, I've tried finding solace in the Dharma but I think I'd appreciate the advice of people who have gone through a period such as this just as well.
