Guilty feeling- we all know how it hurts. We all have regrets and we all feel guilty, for so many reasons. It's okay. We are human so it's totally fine. But being a slave of guilty feeling is never okay. Being bounded by the guilty feeling and always making us feel worse is a self-harming act. It's never easy to come out from this type of feeling. But there are ways, you know. Otherwise, how everyone is surviving?
Own yourself and accept your mistakes. How many of us can really do this? A handful, right? We depend on other's approval and shape our life to meet other's expectations. We don't own our decisions and thus our life. And when it comes to accepting, it's become harder. Because in the first place we don't own ourselves. If you can ensure these two, you will be free.
Take control of your action. This one is very necessary to make sure we will not do the same to make us feel guilty again. Also, it's necessary to take care of our emotions to protect them from self-harm. When we have full control over our actions, we can clearly understand why we are doing certain things and what will be the consequences.
Guilt kills our self-esteem, it restricts us from focusing on present moments and it leads to unproductive behavior. There's no joy in blaming ourselves. As long as we can't get out of this feeling, we will never feel the freedom from our own mind. And if you can learn and understand the process, it will sure relieve you and give you a sense of mental freedom.
