Hi Pooky,
I fight guilt and shame constantly. It's from my childhood. Parents, teachers, school, society are all to blame for toxic shame. It was how they operated back then. I have shame for being Kay and many other things. I feel shame for not being perfect, but we are all human and make mistakes. My mind can remember silly mistakes from my whole life! Like I am beating myself up for something no one else remembers decades ago!
They say try to live in the moment. The past is gone and we can't change it. I like reading self help books and articles. Also while I meditate, I watch in my mind's eye, myself walking down a beach as the woman I am with not a care in the world. Just the ocean, a slight breeze and sunshine.
Best of luck to you,
Kay
