Have you ever felt bad about something? Maybe you neglected your kids, said something hurtful to a loved one, spent your paycheck on scratch tickets, can’t stop looking at porn, or made a mistake at work that cost your team at work. We’ve all been there! It can be difficult to forgive ourselves. The question is, “What do we do with that guilt?”
