GUILT:

~

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.
