Always beating yourself up about
something? Stop now! Change your attitude. Banish guilt from your life.
You Feel Guilty About... The Past
Does a feeling of horror always wash over you when you think of the
things you did in the past? If so, it's important to realise that no one gets
through life without doing a few they're not proud of. Things which, not only
shape who we are today, but also help us to become better people. Guilt is our
moral compass. It lets us know when we've acted against ourselves and others,
and it shows us which behaviour patterns we need to change.
However,
regurgitating old guilt has no use apart from making us feel awful. It's about
taking one bad deed and making it fit the whole of who you are.
To break
the habit you need to mentally take responsibility for what happened, and then
decide to stop feeling guilty.
Just as we have the power to make
ourselves feel worthless we also have the power to make ourselves feel good,
despite the mistakes we've made.
