Do you hold onto unresolved guilt? Guilt is a sign that something went wrong. It is an indicator that you’ve lose control of your thoughts and that you need to examine some underlying issues. In a sense, guilt can be a useless emotion and feeling if you allow it to manifest for a long period of time.
When you feel guilty about a past event, you dwell in the zone of “I wish things were different.” However, wishful thinking never resolves anything from our past. It’s called our past for a reason. What’s done is already done.
In order to use guilt effectively, we have to realize that mistakes and failures are normal. It is part of human nature. If there is something you can do to remedy the situation in the present moment, go for it. Back up your feelings with constructive action. You can proactively take charge of your life and live unapologetically, with no regrets.
Some people don’t know what the best steps to take are. That’s okay, so long as you are trying your best to act from a place of love. When we act from this vulnerable part of ourselves, we allow our life to unfold beautifully. You start to feel good about life, and it opens new doors for you.
Another tip that may be useful is to reframe your thoughts around past traumas or guilty acts. Realize that you are human and that you’re bound to make mistakes. Learn from it, forgive yourself, and commit yourself to doing better next time.
