... what we were talking about last time of you know that the the fear of anticipating maybe it's not the thousand different forks in the road right now but it's like that worst case fork in the road you know and and that you're that you're really dwelling in that place and I get it I get you know it's it's the you know expect the best plan for the worst you know um but that if it if it is really like taking you off your path like if it's taking you away from work if it's not allowing you to be present then there's a there's a point of diminishing returns in that planning for the worst right it's it's that you've I I have a sense that you've thought about it enough right and and that and that this goes back to what we were talking about last time of even if it's a 50 50 which it's not if there's a 50 chance that you're gonna go down worst case scenario you owe it to yourself to also like inhabit the other potential that that could also not happen and for what it's worth in ...

... all these these kinds of conversations that I've had of like people just like really worried about what their partner is going to do around whatever 90 of the time it is 95 of the time it's not even close to worst case scenario it's not to say that this might be that five percent but like it's just this unfair balancing act that we give ourselves in these kind of moments of like even though it's a five percent chance we dwell in it 95 percent of the time work with what's coming up as guilt and like mold it into something more beneficial right where you're not beating yourself up over it but that like if we look at it from a different angle what's showing up as guilt is really your integrity being like what the [ __ ] we could have done better from that angle then you can kind of like settle back into like okay yeah this is this was a wake-up call this this is a this is a reminder that yes indeed I do have integrity I knew it all along but like it was tested right and and yes I may ...

... have stumbled and like you didn't fail the test right you got a different data point where you're like oh whoops I really wanted it like all the things we talked about last time I really wanted this relationship I was willing to kind of be in in denial a little bit even though I was hearing a whisper and I was swatting that away a little bit because I wanted something so bad so it's good ultimately in the long run if we zoom out and we look at this this whole thing from bird's eye view it's good that your integrity is intact unfortunately the integrity being intact is bringing up a lot of guilt but it means that the system is working I hope you got a lot out of that video and if you did please let me know please like comment and subscribe and keep an eye out for more videos just like this you

"Work with what's coming up as guilt, and mold it into something more beneficial."

You may experience guilt when you wanted a relationship so badly, you were yearning for it so deeply, that you may not have made the best choices. Perhaps it wasn't being 100% honest with a potential partner. You could try having more compassion for yourself when that guilt comes up. We often expect the best and plan for the worst in difficult situations. But there's a point of diminishing returns in planning for the worst. You can over-think your guilt. But you also owe it to yourself to inhabit the other potential for better outcomes to happen, to learn from the misstep. We often dwell in the guilt and beat ourselves up over it. What's showing up as guilt is often our integrity telling us we could have done better. And sometimes it can be a wake up call or a reminder that we do indeed still have integrity, but it was tested. In the long run, it's good because it means our integrity is intact, but that is also what is bringing up guilt. BUT it means that the system is working.
