Guilt Flashcards

Q
Guilt is a useless emotion for which three basic reasons?
A
- You can’t change the past, no matter how long or how often you practice feeling guilty.
- Rehashing guilt-arousing thoughts in your mind keeps you locked in the past, rather than focused on the present.
- 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.
