Here's a little something I found interesting, from a book I'm reading, The Success Principles, by Jack Canfield.
"Guilt happens when you think words such as should, must, ought to, or have to. Here are some examples: I ought to spend more time studying for my bar exam...I should spend more time at home with my kids...I have to exercise more. As soon as we feel like we should do something, we create an internal resistance to doing it.
You will be more effective if you replace guilt-tripping with phrases such as I want to...It supports my goals to...It would be smart to...It's in my best interest to... Guilt is never productive. It will stand in the way of acheiving your foals. So get rid of this emotional barrier to success."
