How to Deal With Guilt and Worry

Guilt and worry are not necessarily damaging emotions. Guilt can inspire people to make amends to someone they have hurt. Worry might prevent people from making mistakes or having an accident. When these emotions take over your life and become obsessions, however, they can damage you.There are several tips as follows,it may help you out.
Use your guilt to improve your life. Some guilt can be healthy if it inspires you to make positive changes in your life, but too much or inappropriate guilt can become demoralizing.
Forgive yourself and ask for forgiveness from anyone you have wronged. Apologize to anyone you have hurt and, if possible, undo the wrong that was done. Turn your negative guilty energy into constructive behavior.
Analyze what you worry about to determine if your worry is helpful and appropriate or whether it has become obsessive, irrational and neurotic.
Practice dismissing worrying ideas by turning off thoughts that are clearly needless and by focusing on positive, rather than negative, outcomes. Face your worries and take action to ward them off.
Set aside a time every day for concentrated worry, possibly over morning coffee.
Stay in the moment instead of projecting into future disasters. Try meditation, get more exercise, dance or practice yoga. Listen to music or watch a funny movie.
