Dealing Appropriately with Guilt

When you're trying to work through guilt, here's what you need to do:

Distinguish between action and self;
Accept responsibility;
Make amends - apologize and make reparations;
Take a problem - solving approach - look for solutions;
Make better choices - When you do something that you can't accept, you may find that this event becomes a catalyst for greater change. Maybe you want to become a better person or start down a new path in life.
