Feeling good about ourselves is a choice. So is feeling guilty. When guilt is
legitimate, it acts as a warning light, signaling that we’re off course. Then
its purpose is finished.
Wallowing in guilt allows others to control us. It makes us feel not good
enough. It prevents us from setting boundaries and taking other healthy
action to care for ourselves.
We may have learned to habitually feel guilty as an instinctive reaction to life.
Now we know that we don’t have to feel guilty. Even if we’ve done something
that violates a value, extended guilt does not solve the problem; it prolongs the
problem. So make an amend. Change a behavior. Then let guilt go.
