Do you feel guilty about this?

Hi ,
Do you feel guilty about something you did or didn't do?
It is such a difficult emotion to deal with that we often end up making excuses for ourselves, justifying what we did, or just running away from the issue altogether to get relief from the feeling.
But that's not the best way to respond.
Guilt may be justified. You may have done something wrong and guilt is a compass telling you to get back on track. Adapting a growth mindset, guilt can prompt you to learn and be better than you were before.
Guilt can also go to far and turn into shame. A feeling like YOU are bad as opposed to what you did.
I have two resources for you to explore your guilt and help your through it so you come out better on the other side:
The first is a recent blog post on 13 ways to deal with guilt. Practical solutions so you can heal from the pain and grow beyond it.
If you prefer to listen, Steve Project invited me to explore the topic in this episode of the Sports Project Radio Show.
And if you're feeling weighed down about something, reply to this e-mail and let's have a conversation about how I can help you get out of your head and back into your life.
Best,
Dr Eddie
