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.
