Rid YOUR guilt‼️ ‼️ ‼️ ‼️
It is time to name and shame your guilt.
At the moment, ignoring your guilt or trying to push it away might seem like a helpful strategy. But ask yourself…..is it? Sometimes we think If you don’t think about it will eventually disappear……….
Like other emotions, unaddressed or suppressed guilt can build and intensify, making you feel worse over time.
When we refuse to acknowledge negative emotions like guilt might temporarily keep it from spilling into your everyday life, but masking your emotions generally doesn’t work as a permanent strategy. Truly addressing guilt requires you to first accept those feelings, however unpleasant they are.
Have a go at this exercise:
Set aside some quiet time for yourself.
Bring along a diary to keep track of your thoughts.
Say to yourself, or write down, what happened: “I feel guilty because I shouted at my kids.” “I broke a promise.” “I cheated on a …………...”
Mentally open the door to guilt, frustration, regret, anger, and any other emotions that might come up. Writing down what you feel can help.
Sit with those feelings and write them out. How do they make you feel?

Feel it - stop resisting it
Practice the attitude of gratitude
It’s pretty common to feel guilty over needing help when you’re coping with challenges, emotional distress, or health concerns. Remember: People form relationships with others to build a community that can offer support.
Imagine the situation in reverse. You’d probably want to show up for your loved ones if they needed help and emotional support. Most likely, you wouldn’t want them to feel guilty about their struggles either.
There’s nothing wrong with needing help. Life isn’t meant to be faced alone.
Instead of feeling guilty when you struggle, cultivate gratitude by:
thanking loved ones for their kindness
making your appreciation clear
acknowledging any opportunities you’ve gained as a result of their support
committing to paying this support forward once you’re on more solid ground. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
