Blogpost 1 : Oust Guilty Conscience

When does guilty conscience happen? It's when you've done something wrong and your subconscious mind is telling you to do something about it. You may not realize it but in your heart you know that you've done something wrong. Yes, it was a mistake that went against the grain of what it is to be a loving or honest person. Chalk it up to emotional immaturity at the time, being selfish, letting your anger get the best of you or thinking the person deserved it somehow. Now you are burdened with a guilty conscience and feel undeserving, regretful and even punished. 

Guilty conscience is the most hurtful experience one can have. It is the most direct attack on our ego, and also most potent because it is self generated. You have no peace of mind, inner peace, you can't concentrate in what you're doing you can't feel the real happiness you're not confident to face God. That feeling when a little voice you hear keeps reminding you of the thing that you did. What can you do to stop "guilty conscience"? Try to actually confront the people about what it is that's troubling you more often. Don't be shy, people will open up to you more than you think.

I found this article entitled "OVERCOMING A GUILTY-CONSCIENCE" in remnantresource. It was a very good topic it does not only help you dealing with guilt but also gives hope to people. I'm so interested with the topic because I often feel guilty with the things I do most. So I came to visit this article to find ways overcoming this kind of feeling.

"Most often, we deal with guilt in one of two ways. Some people are so burdened by their guilty conscience that they strive with everything in them to do something that makes them feel better about themselves. This is sort of like a guilt-transaction. The more guilty you feel, the more good you feel that you have to do to let yourself off the hook." stated by Doug Ponder in the article.

I truly believe of what Doug Ponder wrote about his article. What he's trying to state is the different ways on how people deal with guilt. That we people feel "guilty conscience" in different ways. There are some who deny and some who downplay guilt by trying to find someone else in their life who appears to be worse off than they are. That's why many people can relate to this topic, those who are over thinking about having the feeling of "guilty conscience" can help them to remove the same feeling that they're having over and over again.

Unfortunately, we come to stages in our life where the only way out is the way we least want to go to. We all make mistakes and in result, we need to take responsibility for our actions in order to move forward. There have been times in my life where I've done things I was so ashamed of, I felt at the time that i would rather die then tell my parents. Eventually, they found out anyway, I felt so ashamed and embarrassed, I'm not going to lie, it wasn't easy, but after they knew, after a few weeks, I felt so much better. My point is, the best thing you can do, is the thing that's going to be the most painful at the time, but it will only get better from there on. Maybe you could get a another family friend, or family member to tell your parents for you?

There's another article that I found entitled "Making Peace with a Guilty Conscience" and I love the last part that was stated. "When guilt consumes your thinking and overrides your love for yourself, you may be suffering beyond the scope of what is reasonable. If you have done what you can to make up for your transgression and learned from your mistake, give yourself the credit you deserve. Let go and let live." Doing the right thing is always difficult but we get stronger and better by overcoming our guilt so just take your time and let time heal your guilt.
