guilt

So how do you get rid of guilt?

Some guilt is good: discomfort that urges you away from wrong action.

But most guilt is just an ugly, raw drain on your energy.

Or mine.

So I'm feeling guilty that I can't figure out time to attend a club meeting tomorrow.

I'm feeling guilty that I haven't made as much progress as I should on my dissertation.

Guilty that I haven't kept up like I should/would like with friends and loved ones.

Guilty that my house is sooooo dirty and cluttered... again.

How do you let go of this? It's not helping clean the house, write the dissertation or call the friend. It's just weighing me down.
