10 minutes doesnt sound like much of a loss, even if you do it every day. Maybe it helps you empathize with athletes, or if you get nostalgic/wistful, it helps you explore the range of emotions, which is fine as long as you don't get stuck with them.
IMO it’s a problem if doing that stops you from making new happy memories. Life is for living.
It sounds like you're not there yet, but when you are, I hope you will be less judgmental of us old folks who simply care to reminisce.
That doesn't make sense. A life however-lived implies you're dead. You cannot admire your well-lived life.

You cannot change the future ...
Maybe you're not a native speaker. The reason why I reply is because I notice that many people fall into language traps when reasoning about something philosophical. The result of that reasoning looks good but doesn't check out and hence doesn't get you anywhere in terms of actually realizing something important.
You changed the future in this thread, by responding to me with an incredibly literal reading of my comment. So I responded and now you get to read it.
So here we are in the future, having a conversation about philosophy and time’s arrow. It didn’t have to be that way, you could have made some other comment, or I could have not responded.
I don't know if you're trying to make a point about predeterminism or something with your second comment. Perhaps you could clarify.
I can certainly identify with similar approach, I call it 'looking at actions from my death bed', and how would I rate them and overall process of living my life'. That moment itself is largely irrelevant, the path to it means everything to me.
It lead me to many happy choices and no regrets.
