Itβs true that guilt can be a helpful guide to your values and what matters in certain situations. But what about when you feel guilty aboutβ¦ everything? What starts as a useful tool can morph into anxiety, shame, and doubt about actions that are actually healthy.
In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, weβre here to remind you that just because someone else may be disappointed or inconvenienced when you say no, prioritize yourself, or ask for help, it doesnβt mean it's wrong. Hereβs what to do next time guilt strikes:
| π | Get clear on, and stay connected to, your true intentions |
| π | Remember: disappointing someone isnβt the same as harming them |
| π | Practice self-compassion: βItβs okay to take care of myselfβ |
