sometimes feeling guilty is appropriate. when we’ve hurt someone. when we owe an apology. when we’ve let someone down. but guilt for guilts sake? just to feel in control? productive? no thank you. translate it to gratitude.

Sadly I’m often afflicted by heavy guilt. Last Sunday I decided it was too much and I engaged on a series of small acts to help me process my big collection of guilts. It can look like texting people back or reassuring yourself that you’re acted righteously or acknowledge you’re letting yourself be affected by outside judgment or shit talking someone to your friends or saying fuck it out loud. Journaling about it, shooting darts on a printed piece of paper, taking naps, making soup. Whatever it takes. You will know. It won’t always work, but it’s usually soothing. Guilt is a stupid feeling, I’m tired of feeding it.

my first wondering — when you talk about feeling guilty over good things happening — is why is that? What is driving that guilt?
And also, is it really guilt or something else? Like, fear that it is going to be yanked away or that it’s all a facade?

Because it’s good to do something about it when you feel bad about hurting someone! Feeling remorse can be such a gift if we choose to work with it towards healing

Actually fantastic advice. Got hooked on these puppies young. These books were better than grad school. And now I’m a therapist.

Salt, to taste
Watch it fizz like a potion!

Nurture the invention of your yearning. Protect your girlish lust by drawing a clear line between fantasy and reality. Choose to stay in fantasyland.
