Shame is a feeling that is experienced by many people in the world and has been studied for centuries. It's an emotion that can be both painful and powerful. Shame is an important part of our identity, as it helps us to identify what we have done wrong in order to avoid repeating the behavior.

Whether it's you missing the biggest chance of the game or blowing away money you didn't have on a "lucrative" opportunity... it sucks but it will one day happen. It could also be a big secret that's now exposed which hurt so many people or just letting people important to you down.

You could be stuck in the past, still filled with anger and resentment. To be at your best you simply must not know how to detach from those.

It is not to be confused with guilt though. Shame is more related to the self, while guilt is more related to the behavior. Shame is a feeling of embarrassment or humiliation, while guilt is a feeling of remorse and regret.

The cycle of shame starts with feeling ashamed of oneself and ends when one feels shamed by others which then leads to feelings of guilt and self-loathing. This pattern needs to be broken in order for the person to heal from their emotional wounds.

Change your thoughts & change your self talk

what you say becomes reality. One of the most powerful ways of changing your life is to change the way you think about it. Today, I'll discuss three common self-talk patterns that are counterproductive and how to replace them with more constructive thoughts. .The first self-talk pattern I want to discuss is worry. Worry is a thought process that tries to foresee, plan for, and solve future problems or difficulties.

It keeps us from living in the present moment and taking care of our present needs so we'll be prepared for disasters that may or may not happen in the future. The second self-talk pattern I want to discuss is comparing. Comparing is when we try to escape into a fantasy world where things are perfect and everything falls into place just as we need it to. Comparing also makes us feel better because we're not being responsible for our current situation and it's easy to gloss over the bad stuff.
