Guilt

One feeling that appears to be a constant with people, is guilt. Self seems to hold on to guilt like it were a favorite pair of blue jeans. Those blue jeans were always worth the energy to keep, regardless of the condition. The problem is that guilt is something that you are not proud of, and does not carry the same validation of those cool jeans. The association with guilt, usually brings on negative feelings and thoughts that self is struggling with. Self needs to work through guilt, and let guilt go, not hold onto like your jeans. The past is what it is, we cannot change it. But, we can identify with our guilt, and learn to accept our feelings connected with guilt in a healthy way. Interpersonal relationships that went sour seem to be a spot where guilt lingers with one's thoughts. It is important that self can resolve their guilt with a past relationship that did not work out for what ever reason. Each person will hold onto feelings of guilt, but for how long? Learning to let thoughts of guilt go, can be a emotional and healthy cycle at the same time. The positive thought comes back to your favorite blue jeans. You will meet new people, and will be able to wear your jeans when you are able to let the guilt thoughts go, and you may even buy another pair of jeans! Don't beat your self up over guilt, work through it, and then let it go! Stay in your health, stay in the moment.
