Beyond Blue: Unload Your Guilt!

[CHINNUJACK]

The women don't have guilt. men only have. Guilt can take a man up to the sainthood or down to madness. the women can't understand the depth of their mistakes or the pain they have done to others. every sunrise they are fresh and happy. God made them that way. Suppose if a woman realize her big mistake better she choose to kill herself. Guilt is dropping or renouncing what we were doing. but look at the women they don't drop anything what they have been

doing. (smile)

no offence but if not even therapy helps u you have more problems then u think hun

[caycug1]

God doesn't want us to carry any guilt. Confess, receive His forgiveness, and cast ALL of our cares upon Him (not just SOME of them). (See 1 John 1:9 and 1 Peter 5:7)

[tpstrat14]

@caycug1 I appreciate your comment. There is no amount of weight that we carry than can help us do better. It is being lighthearted and happy that spreads joy to others' lives. If you feel guilty about something and you let it consume you, then there is only more guilt coming. The only way to get rid of guilt (which is a TOTALLY natural feeling as a result of being imperfect) is to just drop it like the unnecessary baggage that it is. Don't ruminate on the past. Improve the present.

You don't need to go to a priest to confess your sins.

In the Lord's prayer we say "forgive us our tresspasses...". God hears us, and cleanses us from all unrighteousness. It is also important to confess our sins to anyone whom we may have sinned against, if prudent.

[caycug1]

I often envision myself putting my prayers and problems into a brown paper lunch bag, and then I literally lift up my hand to God as though I am handing off my problems to Him. "Cast all your cares upon God, for He cares for you." (1 Peter 5:7)

[PabloPena108]

Hmmm I notice the word "PERFECT" alot. With such unrealistic expectations how can you ever breath freely?

Great video...Thanks

[0130ladybug]

This video helped me see that i carry a lot of guilt because of my upbringing and it causes me to go into deep depression and anxiety. I have a hard time letting go of stuff that normal people can let gosuch as(love for someone who only wanted to be friends). Now they are not even a friend. Thank you for this video maybe now I can look at this differently.

[JosephStetson]

Great video.

[TheFragrantMuse]

I LOVE this. Guilt and I are like this X (fingers crossed). I posted this video to my Facebook page (Liz Fulcher) to share with others. Thank you!

[LeCorbeauestJoyeux]

I'd break my back D:

[GlazirinAna]

Very honest, thank you

[artchixx]

Seriously great stuff!!!

I'm thinking of creating my very own "guilt backpack"!! I was just talking with my therapist about how sometimes I have trouble letting go of certain thoughts - very OCD & he told me as weird as it sounded to visualize a stop sign. I think tools like this are very helpful. Getting creative like you've said to problem solve some of these things. For me, the impact of a visual & literal backpack of rocks would be helpful - I think. Thanks for sharing!!!

[EvodiusTheophile]

What is "guilt" anyway? How does taking rocks out of a back pack, an interesting metaphor, actually change anything? I mean without doing something more constructive, won't you just end up back where you started? Are going to keep unloading backpacks? That doesn't sound anything like a solution. Maybe you shouldn't let the kids watch TV if you don't think that they should watch TV? What's really going on, it sounds, is that you have conflicted desires...figure out what you really want and do it.

One thing that eases my feelings of guilt (at least temporarily) is thinking of people that are worse than me.

[Kurissyma]

Good gosh! I couldn't live with a perfect mum! I'm happy with my quirky ol' IMperfect one, thank you very much!

[grailmaiden]

Therese - this is what helps me.....a Tibetan Buddhist axiom. Whenever we feel wretched and desolate - embrace the divine spirit within us and tell the universe this sentiment.........

"The sea is so vast and wide, and my boat is so tiny and fragile. That is why I need to practice more compassion for myself."

Developing self love and self compassion has helped me a great deal with clinical depression.

Keep hope alive!

Another Great Video Therese, I carry at least forty extra pounds in my backpack, everyday,& everywhere. It's not only my guilt, it's my shame and my fear. I truly must offload most of this excess stuff(books mostly)
