GUILT


Many of us today wake up accompanied by the shadow of guilt, go through our day with it following us and then go to bed every night with guilt right there along side us.
Guilt, like a poison attacks your thoughts, your emotions, and of course thereafter your actions or reactions to certain situations.
Guilt is nothing but a USELESS emotion. There is a "healthy"form of guilt which is there to guide us and let us know that intuitively what you could be getting yourself involved in is wrong or what you just did was wrong, but it should serve as a warning and shortly after making its point, leave your side and allow you to continue there after, however unfortunately it does not do that!! IT LINGERS BECAUSE WE ALLOW IT TO!!
We all know how liberating and good it feels to forgive someone, and forgiving yourself gives you that same sense of liberation and freedom, however it is a little more challenging to forgive yourself as we are always harder on ourselves than we are with others.
We believe self crucification and punishment is deserved for our actions and we do not deserve forgiveness , grace or a new beginning, yet we will offer it to others with such warmth.

What is Guilt?
Why do we feel such guilt?
Letting go of guilt
Forgiving yourself / and others
living a guilt free life
letting go of the past

Join me this week as we look at the topic of guilt and find the solutions to breaking off the shackles that keep us chained to such a USELESS EMOTION, preventing us from living a full , complete, FREE LIFE.
