Dear Permission to be Powerful Reader,
Guilt can be seen as a good sign.
That you’re going in the right direction.
Sometimes when you increase self-care…
Boundaries…
Meeting your needs and wants.
You feel guilty about it.
But guilt, itself, has no point…
Either you do nothing about the situation…
Or, you take action.
Getting down on yourself for it while doing nothing is pointless.
Instead, keep working, going, and growing, and when you feel guilt, reinterpret it as good…
A sign you're going in the right direction.
Keep moving forward.
You'll see it fade over time.
With love,
— Zalman, LCSW
