Guilt

Question 1

Guilt is a useless emotion for which three basic reasons?

Answer 1

1. You can’t change the past, no matter how long or how often you practice feeling guilty.
2. Rehashing guilt-arousing thoughts in your mind keeps you locked in the past, rather than focused on the present.
3. Feeling guilty does not help you correct troubling behavior because you expend your mental energies putting yourself down yourself rather than learning to change your behavior.
