Letting Go of Guilt


When we  decide to pursue our dreams we can, at times be overcome with guilt. We focus all our attention on what we desire and feel guilty as society has taught us that this is selfish. Our partners can reinforce this as they may not be getting as much attention as they are used to. And then there is our kids. When do we get to spend time with them?
 Guilt rears its ugly head and we start to feel torn. Should we carry on pursuing our dream , at any cost? Or should we allow our guilt to derail us and sacrifice our dream for the sake of the SHOULDS?
It doesn't have to be an  either /or decision. You can pursue your dream and release the guilt. You are doing the best that you can to be the best person that you can. Let go of the shoulds and allow yourself to turn it into a could. The energy of could is one of choice. It gives you the option of choosing whether this is something that you want.
When we give up on our dreams or allow others opinions to derail us, a little piece of us dies. Then resentment sets in and that opens up a whole can of worms.
 Try tapping along to this video and see if you can release some of the guilt and keep on track with your dream.
