From Guilt to Confidence

One thing that holds us back is feeling guilt.

Personally, I don’t believe there are very many things in life to feel guilty about. If you are honestly trying to do your best, why feel guilty?  Guilt saps our strength and our power. Allowing others to make us feel guilty is not productive. It is usually their own insecurities that cause others to try and make us feel guilty.

Choose right now, not to allow anyone to make you feel guilty.

List the things that you are feeling guilty for in your life right now:

1. _______________________________________________

2. _______________________________________________

3. _______________________________________________

4. _______________________________________________

5. _______________________________________________

6. _______________________________________________

7. _______________________________________________

8. _______________________________________________

9. _______________________________________________

10. _______________________________________________

I hope you didn’t have enough things to fill out all ten lines, but if you did, you will find yourself feeling amazing self-confidence once you have eliminated each of these things from your life.

Now, I want you to take each of those things that you are feeling guilty about and write what it would feel like (What you would feel like), if there was no reason to feel guilty about them anymore. How would it feel, if you weren’t carrying around all this guilt-baggage?

10. _______________________________________________

Now, I want you to get real creative – real creative – and list three reasons why you shouldn’t feel guilty for each of these things.

3. _______________________________________________

Now, I want you to refuse to feel guilt from this point on. And notice how you life and feelings begin to change, especially your self-confidence.
