 Guilt, shame, IM
After the crazy discussion in response to Steve's "how to be a man" article, I got to thinking about shame and guilt.
I just freaked myself out: I am deliberately focusing on the moment, segment intending and trying to feel good (right now) and even though I'm terrified that if I don't worry about tomorrow the world will explode, things lined up so that not only is it slow at work, but I have a lot of vacation time, so I'll take the last two days of the week off. I filled out my form and was hit with a sense of guilt. WTF is that?
When you have a tough time accepting good things coming your way, good things will not come your way, because you have to make a space for them, inside. Silly thread but the only reason I am writing it, is to immediately notice and reject an inappropriate response to something good, guilt.
Any stories here of being at peace, feeling good, and then feeling like "hey life isn't supposed to be happy"? |
