Often, we imagine that making a lifestyle change will have a positive impact on our lives. But what about when it doesn’t – or it doesn’t have an effect we had hoped for?

If you made a change to the way you live, but regretted the consequences, we want to hear about it. Perhaps you decluttered your home – but wish you hadn’t got rid of so much stuff? Or maybe you realised your lifelong ambition of travelling the world – only to spend the whole trip craving home comforts.

Whether you quit social media and missed your online friendships, or signed up to a marathon only to injure yourself in the first week of training – tell us about the one change you made that didn’t work out as planned.
