Express Your Feelings
Write your feelings out – if only just for yourself. Bring these swarming, remorseful feelings out of your head and onto paper. Write them in a journal, or write them on a piece of paper to destroy in a way that makes you feel more fulfilled – like burning it.
Furthermore, while you’re in the process of writing, remove the words, “If only…then” from your vocabulary. Understand that worrying about the past is a potent prescription for stress and health problems. Do not make the guilty feelings more powerful by your fixation with them.

When you take notes, you need to filter external information, summarize it in your head, and then write it down.
Your brain decides which pieces of information to hang onto for later, partly as a result of how much work you do to them upfront–so the more you mentally manipulate a pie...
Feel and express your emotions
Until we fully release our emotions, they continue to affect our present mindset.
- Do anger work. Allow yourself to be fully disappointed, sad or depressed. Talk about it.
- Write a letter. Purging emotions out on paper give them a place to live outside of yourself.
Name Your Guilt
Like other emotions, unaddressed guilt can build and intensify, making you feel worse over time.

- Bring along a journal to keep track of your thoughts.
