Guilt
That pesky little voice
That won’t stop
Telling you that
You have done wrong
You might think
That guilt can propel you
To do better
Try harder
Get it right
…But it doesn’t
Guilt never motivates
In fact
It is the killer of motivation
It only makes you feel bad
And wrong
Like a child scolded
Recoiling, withdrawing, spiraling downward
Guilt will always
Lead you away from healing
It is not helpful
In any way shape or form
The truth is
That you have always done
The very best you can
With the resources, tools and understanding
That you have
To move yourself forward
To feel motivated
To empower yourself
To make healthy changes in your life
DROP GUILT
And embrace
Self-Compassion
Self-Love
Self-Understanding
Self-Kindness
Self-Acceptance
They will make you thrive
And bloom
And shine
They will lead you
On the path
To healthiest you
