Guilt is not invited TODAY!!



As we all know Guilt can follow us around like our shadow and with every step we take, poison our breath and mind at the same very time. Today I'd like you to make a conscience effort to formally UN - INVITE guilt or negative thoughts where ever you go today.
This morning you maybe getting ready to go to gym or work and whilst in the traffic on the way to your destination this morning a negative thought comes into your mind and before you know it you are feeling the guilty or lousy, but today, I would like you to try something new, I would like you to stop that thought immediately by un-inviting that thought by saying somthing like this to it... TODAY YOU ARE NOT INVITED IN THE CAR WITH ME, NOR ARE YOU INVITED TO GYM OR WORK WITH ME"and quickly turn on the radio or try and change your train of thought. Continue to do this all day. if later on you are having lunch and once again a negative thought ïs entering your mind, or you have suddenly found yourself feelinng guilty about something again, STOP THE TRAIN OF THOUGHT THERE AND THEN, and once again as you did earlier, I would like you to UN-INVITED THAT EMOTION OR FEELING and throw it out of where you are and change your train of thought. DO NOT ALLOW THE POWER OF A THOUGHT OR EMOTION RULE OVER THE STRENGTH OR POWER OF YOUR MIND . Take full control of the situation by taking CONTROL of YOUR THOUGHT PROCESS AND TURNING THAT THOUGHT OR EMOTION INTO A POSITIVE ONE AND STOPPING THE NEGATIVE ONE IN ITS TRACKS BEFORE YOU ALLOW IT TO AFFECT YOU EMOTIONALLY.

"5 things to think about next time you feel guilty"

Many people think that guilt is a natural experience. It’s a familiar experience, but it’s not healthy or productive. It serves no constructive purpose. Here are five things to think about the next time you are feeling this way:


Guilt comes from a frightened part of your personality.
The actions that you regret also came from a frightened part of your personality. Following fear with fear moves you in the opposite direction that your spiritual development requires, which is toward love.

Guilt impairs your ability to learn from your experiences.
When you see something that you could have done differently, or wish you had done differently, remember how you could have spoken or acted in love instead of fear. This helps you apply what you have learned and keeps you from feeling more guilty. Your experiences are designed to inform, support, and benefit you, not cause you to contract into fear and remorse.

Guilt keeps you from being honest with others and yourself.
It keeps you from seeing that you cannot cause another person emotional pain. You can trigger emotional pain in others, but their pain comes from inside them, not from you. Their pain is an opportunity for them to learn about themselves. Your pain is an opportunity for you to learn about yourself. Guilt distracts you from that crucial lesson.

The relationship between guilt and forgiveness may surprise you.
Guilt is actually a twisted or manipulative way of seeking forgiveness. It is the belief that if you inflict suffering on yourself for your choices, another will forgive you for them. This is belief keeps you in pain because only you can forgive yourself.

You cannot give the gifts that your soul wants you to give while you are feeling guilty.
Your gifts may be to raise a family, create a new kind of business, write a book, or dance. When you choose not to forgive yourself, you choose not to give the gifts your soul wants to give. You can choose otherwise. You—like everyone—have gifts and you were born to give them

Releasing your guilt

WHAT GUILT ARE YOU GOING TO LET GO OF TODAY?


Write down on a piece of paper what it is you have been feeling guilty about.
Feel the emotions come flooding back in.
Identify as to where the feeling is...........ie your stomach, back, shoulder etc
know that this is a feeling that has come to you and this is NOT YOU.
write down on a piece of paper exactly what you would have like to say to yourself in the situation back then, and then again now, in the present.
read it.
go through all the different emotions that it will or might evoke in you,
and then once you have gone through those motions, say to yourself, Ï forgive myself, tear up the piece of paper into a thousand pieces and then throw it away.

Repeat to yourself "I forgive myself" non stop for the next fer weeks at any given opportunity you may have.

It may feel awkward in the beginning, but persaveaare and continue to be gentle with yourself.
GUILT IS USELESS , WASTED TIME AND EMOTION AND DOESNT BENEFIT ANYONE.
It keeps you from moving forwared freely with your life and prevents you from forgiving yourself.
Acknowledge the past, learn from the mistake, and own the present, but dont get stuck in the self crucification of self punishment for mistakes you may have done in the past.
Every sunrise has been offered to you an open new canvas, a new beggning, a new opportunity, a new day, because yesterday is over and whatever happend yesterday which you have asked pardon for, it was granted to you before the sun even rose on today, so if you have been forgiven with such love then why do you not forgive yourself with the same kind of love?
WE ALL MAKE mistakes in our lives, and sometimes you must try to come to peace with the fact that perhaps you may have done something at a point in your life because that was the best you could do then or the best you knew how.

BE KIND TO YOU TONIGHT.
FORGIVE JUST ONE THING THAT HAS BEEN HOLDING YOU BACK FROM LIVING A FREE LIFE, DO IT NOW.
WOULD YOU FORGIVE SOMEONE ELSE WHO DID IT???? I guarentee you the answer is YES!!!

Lets end with 10 deep slow breaths
This is a good START.!!!
Be kind to yourself.



Remember how special you are............!!!

you are in my thoughts.

Love
Nadia

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.
