People often confuse guilt and shame. Guilt and shame are actually quite different; however, guilt can employ shame while having a stronghold on a person’s life. If you often feel guilty, or if you’re sensing guilt because of a particular past experience, then this 30 day mindfulness guide will help you overcome this adverse misperception so that you can start living your best life possible in the present moment, guilt-free.
When you’re shackled by guilt, it’s essentially the same as being restrained by illusory handcuffs. But who put the handcuffs on, especially if they’re not real? Guilt implies that you committed a fault, crime, or misdeed so terrible, as deemed by authorities, that you have been sentenced to pay a price – which can be anything from a small monetary fine to life in prison. So, when you experience the feeling of guilt, what’s the misdeed that warrants the restraint and verdict?
Even people who are placed in real handcuffs are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. So why do many people assign guilt to themselves, and accept guilt from non-authorities? The simple answer is that we’ve been taught to assign guilt to ourselves ever since childhood – it’s an awful conditioning of the spirit. With that said, keep in mind that no one is to blame; we’ve been using guilt as a means to discipline each other for a very long time.
This mindfulness program will guide you to drop the attachment and overcome guilt.
