Feeling Guilty? 25 Of The Best Ways To Stop The Guilt
Don't you hate always feeling guilty?
It's like dragging around a ball and chain everywhere you go. It's hard to allow yourself to fully enjoy life because guilt constantly holds up a sign reading, “You're not worthy.”
Guilt is an emotion you learn in childhood during the social developmental years. It helps you recognize your behaviors and how they impact other people, and it triggers a warning that you may have done something wrong.
As an adult, this feeling can kick in pretty quickly for even the smallest, most meaningless situations that occur in your life.
15 Reasons Highly Sensitive People Are Highly Valuable
Have you ever heard these words before?
“Don't be such a crybaby!”
“I was just kidding — don't take things so seriously.”
“You are way too sensitive. Get over it.”
If you're a highly sensitive person (HSP) like me, you've probably felt “different” all of your life.
While friends and family could let things roll off their backs, you suffered internally for hours or days.
When others seemed to revel in loud environments with lots of activity and people, you wanted to run away and hide in a quiet place.
You could walk in a room and immediately notice if the vibe was all wrong, but everyone else seemed oblivious.
In Western culture, toughness and emotional control are revered while hypersensitivity is viewed as a character flaw or weakness.
This is particularly true for men who are socialized from birth to hide their emotions and “buck up” in the face of emotional or physical pain.
Many highly sensitive men stuff their feelings for years, too afraid to show the world they wear their heart on their sleeve.
Sensitive men and women alike often feel alienated, embarrassed or shamed about their particular behaviors and needs.
High sensitivity is one of the most misunderstood and undervalued traits in the world. Yet it is a perfectly normal, scientifically documented personality trait held by 15-20% of all people (an equal number of men and women).
It is also an essential trait for societies at large, as it reflects a type of survival strategy that benefits everyone — being observant and thoughtful before acting.
The Pivotal Differences Between Intrinsic And Extrinsic Motivation
Take a minute to think about the sources of your motivation. What makes you do the things you do?
Do you go to work to get a paycheck, or because you genuinely enjoy your job?
Do you drive the speed limit to avoid punishment, or because you value your safety and enjoy taking the time to take a break from everyday life in the car?
These are perfect examples that show the difference between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation.
Many things can motivate you to do what you do, but the primary difference between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation is whether you are driven by an internal desire or by some external force that can be positive or negative.

If you're a self-improvement junkie like I am, you're always looking for something inspiring and motivational to read.
Over the years, I've read hundreds of the best self-help books and have written a dozen or so myself.
Some of the most profound “aha” insights in my life have come as a result of what I've learned from these amazing self-growth books.
I firmly believe you should never stop learning and growing as a person. In fact, I like to challenge my own beliefs and assumptions and read the ideas and perspectives of others in order to stretch myself.
One thing I've learned as a personal coach is how every element of our lives impacts the rest of our lives. You can't change one area without it impacting everything else.
That's why it's important to grow and learn in all areas of your life — from your relationships to emotional well-being.
With that in mind, I've shared some of the best self-improvement books in a variety of self-development categories that are important to our overall happiness, peace of mind, and balance.
