Guilt

Sometimes we forget that putting ourselves first is not selfish. It is necessary. I see from how many of my patients react, that many times family and friends want them to act a certain way that might not be easy to do or even right for them. If they do not agree and do what is best for themselves, they are called selfish and made to feel guilty. The worst type of guilt is the kind that is placed on you unnecessarily. I have realized that if I do what is right for me, there will never be any guilt attached to it, even if it happens to be wrong for you.
