From “Guilt Prone” to Freedom from Guilt

Teachers, raise your hand if you’ve ever felt guilt prone in the following situations: you feel the need to apologize every time that you’re late for work. You feel guilt grief when you ask for time off for some important event. You can’t help feeling overwhelmed as a teacher if you receive less than stellar reviews on your teacher assessment. You didn’t get a job you applied for, so you send an email asking for what you could have done better. Does any of this sound familiar? I’m willing to bet it does. Friends, I have soooo been there. And I’m here to tell you – there’s hope. But first, know this: guilt is subconscious. That means that – for a number of possible reasons – you’ve been preconditioned to feel guilty.

Start by acknowledging your guilt prone tendencies

In today's episode, I’m going to talk about why teachers are guilt prone and what to do about it. Maybe you feel guilt over leaving teaching. Or maybe you feel guilt for leaving your job. Perhaps you feel guilt quitting your job. Whatever the reason, I’m going to share with you a step by step process on how to let go of guilt and how to start living with more freedom. Removing guilt is the first step to living the life of your dreams. Ready to start living with less guilt and more freedom? Accept, acknowledge, and listen to this episode!
