We all
experience some guilt, some more than others. Guilt is a
waste of mental energy and a major source of stress.
Guilt is the signal that you have a working conscience,
and some guilt is appropriate. If you've done something
wrong, it's good that you feel a little guilty. If your
guilt is from a wrong action on your part, set about
making it right so that you avoid feeling shame.
Recognize that you are feeling guilty. Sometimes it is
obvious because it occupies our minds and can reveal
itself in the form of stress.
Try to think
about what event makes you feel the most guilty. Is there
anything you can do to make this situation
better?
From now on you
Modify your behavior so that it will not happen again.
From now on you allow yourself to see how your mistake
that made you feel guilty helped you to become a better
person, and if you still feel guilty, know that it is not
necessary or productive.
A lot of guilt
comes from other people telling us directly or
insinuating that we should feel guilty. No one has the
right to make you feel guilty. Realize that many people
who attempt to play on your guilt are controlling or
manipulating you - true friends with your best interests
at heart will offer you the opportunity to confess and
unburden yourself, and help you make amends, then bolster
you positively.
