By letting go of past regrets, we free ourselves from dwelling on things we can't change. This doesn't mean forgetting the past, but rather accepting it without letting it weigh us down.
Similarly, letting go of future anxieties means not being paralyzed by worry about what might happen. It's about being open to possibilities without being consumed by them.
