Jen over at Sprite's Keeper decided that we should do a post on guilt this week for the Spin Cycle. So here I sit, trying to decide what angle to use on this particular topic, because I have, as so many, had my fair share of guilt. First of all, I am a woman. In addition to being a woman, I am a mother. Add to that the fact that I am awesomely self critical and a pathological people pleaser, and y
Is love, guilt and conformity making us parents shop compulsively for Christmas?Is love, guilt and conformity making us parents drive kids all over in big safe cars? Is love, guilt and conformity making us parents buy trips to far away places? Is love, guilt and conformity making us parents too busy to reflect upon the madness we're up to?
The Christmas season is trying to be festive and thoughts of the upcoming holidays are filling our heads, or at least our eyes and ears. But it is especially difficult with escalating financial responsibilities, disappearing work hours and eliminated jobs. How can we make it all balance?
Each year the Christmas time of year is intensely [...]

Guilt in RelationshipsGuilt is a useful emotion if it is used rather than wallowed in. Guilt gives us valuable information. Healthy guilt means either we have done something that we should not have done or we have not done something that we should have done. This type of guilt, if it is used to motivate us to apologize and or learn from our mistakes can help us improve our relationships. There is
Are you feeling troubled by past negative circumstances and feelings that are beyond your control?
Do you constantly experience a feeling of regret?
If so, you may be struggling with guilt.
What is Guilt?
Guilt is a sense of remorse for past thoughts, feelings or actions.

When the mind allows guilt to take over, it will tear down relationships, especially if the partner fails to come to terms and agreement with self. To determine if your mind is full of guilt you must ask your self-questions. What did you do so wrong that would offend your partner that cannot be forgiving? Guilt can break the mind down to the point of no return. Guilt is more than a mistake made; r

I saw this yesterday and passed, but then I realized that it's not that often we get to see a rapper/entertainer/public figure speaking in such a raw format: If you didn't feel bad when 'Ye said that if he didn't move to LA that his Mom would still be here, just go kill yourself now. You're dead inside anyway. Speaking of guilt, I actually feel guilty that I hate those two joints so much.

On my journey to find my faith, I think my biggest obstacle that I face is something that I, and other Catholics that I have spoken to, call the Catholic Guilt.
Growing up, I heard the same things over and over again. If you don't go to church, you go to Hell. If you don't confess your sins, you go to Hell. If you aren't baptized, you go to Hell.
Those are the things I heard in the church and

Therefore, a huge guilt of humanity exists in each and every one of us.

At least, implement green technology in a symbiotic relationship with existing polluting ones. Try and erase some of the guilt. And how successful it has been!

Last weekend I pulled a goodly portion of my unread hardbacks off the doublestacked shelves in the study and corralled them on a wicker etagare in the bedroom. I'm calling the collection my Case of Guilt. If these books are the first things I see when I walk into the room, surely I'll want to read them next, surely I'll not be as quick to order additional hardback brethren for which there is no room. At my current rate of speed it would take me at least a year to get through them all and shouldn't that realization be deterrent enough?I hope I won't reach the end of the year and realize what I've really assembled is a Case of Neglect. If so, I'll need to turn these shelves into, say, a favorite authors showcase and turn these books back into the herd.

Starting October 1, if you're flying first class from Dubai to New York on an Emirates Air A380, you'll have the option of grabbing a hot shower midflight. It'll cost you $18,000, but some showers are worth it, am I right? "No!" say those party poopers in the environmental lobby.
You see, in order to offer every first-class passenger a shower, the airline will have to add one metric tonne of water to its payload, dragging a carbon cost of around 50,000 lbs. per trip.
All part of the luxury experience, right? No one has seen photos of the upcoming A380 first-class cabin, but it is allegedly something on par with the "seven star" Burj Al Arab hotel in Dubai, and that it makes Singapore Airlines' front end—with double beds and dining "environments"—look like a dog's backend.
Sure,
I’ve been writing about guilt and how it hurts our lives. It gives other people power over your life and happiness. Often your choice to assuming guilt is a lose/lose situation. You lose if you give in to what the person makes you feel guilty about, such as canceling your plans to help them, loaning money you don’t want to (and know you probably won’t get back), giving a referral about someone you don’t really trust, etc. Guilt makes you do things you don’t want to. That makes you unhappy.You lose if you don’t give in to what the person wants from you if you let guilt take over. That too makes you unhappy.The Law of Attraction means you get back what you put out. If you put out that you’re accepting a mindset that brings unhappiness, you attract more unhappiness, probably in

Why are the villains a bunch
On Friday I posted a response to a reader who asked for help with managing her guilt. She’s feeling guilty about the fallout from her divorce. Yet her husband drank heavily and refused to give up his contact with a woman he’d become very close to. When I was a DoorMat I lived with lots of guilt. The few times I turned down requests for my help, guilty feelings pervaded my existence. After my divorce I had a boyfriend who blamed me for all the wrong HE did. It was MY fault when he misinterpreted things I said that were clear and full of loving intentions. It was MY fault that he didn’t show up when he said he would. He had many problems that were beyond my control and were there long before he met me. I knew that on a rational level. But insecurity makes the nicest of us irrational. I

A reader wrote to ask me about guilt. She told me the story of how when her husband began to drink too much, she lost her desire for sex. He continued drinking heavily and she withdrew more. Then she discovered his “friendship” with another woman and demanded he end it. He refused and it eventually ended their marriage. Now remember the sequence—he drinks too much, she withdraws because of the drinking, he cheats and blames her for him turning to another woman, static leads to divorce. And she’s guilty!Hello! His drinking was the first thing that initiated the sequence. She took the blame because he’d complained about not having enough sex, while his escalating drinking caused her lack of interest. Now she’s divorced and struggling with mounting debt as she tries to raise her t

But I turned up late and he was gone - and I did not have his details."I've called thousands of phone numbers and written tons of e-mails since then, but I have not been able to find him.

Should my older child know the alphabet better by now? For some Freudian reason or some other psychological baggage, I see part of my role as a parent as trying to make my children’s lot in life better than my own—starting with making their childhood better than my own. And it's not exactly as if I was particularly wanting during my own childhood. There were certainly generational and cultural obstacles in the communication and mutual understanding between my parents and me, but I expect most every child that has ever been born has tried to complain of such issues at one time or another. I had two parents that loved me (though perhaps they did not express it in the way that I would have scripted); I had clothes on my back and plenty of food to eat; and to tell you the truth, I had mor
