Do you ever have feelings of guilt?

Guilt means that you have violated one of your own standards. I talked about rules and standards when dealing with How to Overcome Anger a few days ago. When you do something that breaks your own rules it causes you to choose to feel guilt and/or anger with yourself.

The solution
• Acknowledge that you have violated one of your own standards
• Absolutely commit yourself to making sure this doesn’t happen again

Whatever it is that you have done it is over and in the past, you can't change it and there is absolutely no point in allowing yourself to continue to feel bad about it. You are just continuing to allow whatever you did in the past to affect you now in the present. So get over it and move on.

I can be quite tough!
