How can you overcome your feelings of guilt?
Realize its futility.
No matter what you did, no amount of guilt is going to change it or make you a better person. You can feel an overwhelming, crippling amount of guilt for something and it still wouldn’t amount to anything good.
Move forward, improve, work on things that need working on. Guilt is one of the single most pointless feelings a rational mind can be wasting time on. At some point you will realize that you needed to experience the guilt/anxiety that you went through to acquire the necessary familiarity to use as reference point in any future event that may trigger those feelings again. You will remind yourself about it saying "these feelings are pointless, I overcame them once, I'm going to overcome them again." And your journey of consciousness over the triggering thoughts and feelings begin; knowing that they are not yours to start with. I HIGHLY recommend watching a video by Mooji called: "feelings are just visitors; don't identify." It changed my perspective about guilt, anxiety and grudges completely. I might write more in depth about self enquiry in a later post.
But for now, Id like to read your advice or practical experience in overcoming guilt or anxiety, please share it with this community in the comments believe.
With Love,
Your Superior Mind
