Itโs that word againโฆโฆ
Weโve all felt itโฆ
Thereโs the obvious guilt you feel through impulsive actions, not thought through, often driven by primordial instinct.
They usually have short term gratifications.
It usually hurts others.
But then thereโs the more subtle guilt that you feel when you put yourself first to improve yourself or your life in some way.
Do you spend the weekend on your own sorting out things that have been holding you back for months and spend some โme timeโ to recharge your batteries, or do you agree to spend the weekend at your parentsโ who have organised a full-on family get together?
Do you go away for the weekend on a course youโve wanted to do for years, or do you stay at home to help your partner host a birthday party for one of the children?
Do you move on from an unhappy relationship, or do you stay until the children have left home?
Do you, or do you??
Theyโre all challenging decisions.
Often influenced by the opinion of others who will be affected by your decision.
๐บ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐กโ๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ก๐๐๐ will usually backfire.
Why do you do it?
Because it feels comfortable in the short term.
But...... it will rear its head again at some point in the future.
It may cause regret later in life.
It isnโt aligned with your values causing frustration and resentment.
It only appeases others in the short term.
It doesnโt benefit either you or others in the long-term.
To help you make a decision guilt free, in align with your values, ask yourself if it will result inโฆ.
long-term benefits for you?
long-term benefits for others?
no regret later in life?
And....... expect there to be short-term discomfort for others.
