How To Stop Feeling Guilty

View:

We feel guilty for a lot of reasons. We may feel guilty towards our spouse. Failing to remember a special and memorable day when the other partner so prepared for it can cause feelings of shame and remorse.

We may feel guilty towards our children. We may have promised our kid to attend one of the most important upcoming soccer games he has but then an emergency meeting was called at work which we cannot escape from. Our child feels unloved and we feel so depressed knowing that there is nothing we could do to replace the importance of our presence during his game.

We may feel guilty towards a family member. We may have rejected calls and invites from our mother who just misses our company and would once in a while want to be visited because she feels alone and lonely.

We may feel guilty towards our friends. We may not have been there during the times when she had a problem and needed a shoulder to cry on.

We may feel guilty towards ourselves. We may not have believed in our abilities. We may not have given ourselves the chance to try or explore the possibilities that await us. We may have felt that we are nothing compared to other people.

Guilt usually begins to build up inside us especially when we feel that we have committed something wrong. The guilt feeling serves as our watchdog to somehow tell us if we have hurt other people as well as to remind us to make amends and correct our mistakes. In my own opinion, what's more important is the fact that we acknowledged our mistakes after feeling guilty and work on ways to apologize as well as make up for what we may have done.

Life is a matter of setting priorities. It is important to note that while one tries to, we cannot please everybody and we make mistakes along the way. Of course, try to avoid committing the same mistake over and over again. Make the right choices and learn to appreciate the people as well as the circumstances that have brought you to where you are right now and have somehow shaped you to who you are today.

How To Stop Feeling Guilty

Are you sitting at your desk dreamily imagining yourself on a South Seas vacation? Or maybe on a rollicking holiday with the family? Or maybe you would just prefer to stay home and watch some DVDs.

Wanting to take some time off should not make you feel guilty. In fact, in her new business career advice book, "Time Off for Good Behavior," Mary Lou Quinlan writes that seven out of 10 people fantasize about leaving work for a few months.

What's more, she has some good alternative business career advice that taking a break can help you feel less burned out. It can help you organize your life goals. Most people don't realize that taking time off--guilt free--isn't as difficult as it might seem.

So don't feel like you're condemned to remaining chained to your desk. Here are six alternative business career advice options you can check out:

1. Make a plan. Think about why you want time off. Do you just need a few days to relax? Or are you looking to completely re-assess your career?

2. Figure out how much time off you'll need to come back fully refreshed.

3. Count your days off. Figure out how many vacation days you have. Add in any remaining sick or personal days.

4. Check out company policy. You may be eligible for a sabbatical with full or partial pay. Or you may have the option of re-entering the company after an unpaid leave.

5. Talk to your employer. If the company doesn't have a policy or doesn't spell out the details of flexible time off, now is the time to find out what the company can offer you.

6. Negotiate for what you need.

The point of this alternative business career advice is that you shouldn't be afraid to take some needed time off. It may be just what you need to get your life back in focus and prioritize what really important.

Furthermore, if you are a valued employee, your boss expects you to come forward with recommendations that show how the company will benefit from your time off.

Taking the time to spell out your ideas in a way that shows both concern and awareness of your expectations can result in a mutually advantageous arrangement.
