Feeling Guilty Won’t Serve The World!

When we look at the state of the world, it seems we are moving through a time of profound global awakening and disruption on many levels.
And my clients often ask me:

“With all the chaos, inequality and pain around me, I feel helpless and even guilty for having the life I have. What can I do?”

Some of the leaders I work with come from countries at war. Others witness immense suffering while knowing they are on the safer side of the world.

We may not have control over large-scale events, but it does not mean we are powerless.

There are plenty of things we can actually take action on, and action is the only way our life moves.

So, what can we do?

We can help where we can help. Take action where we can take action. Stay informed without flooding our nervous systems. Connect with those we love. Complete what has been calling us for weeks, months, or even years. Do something that stretches us, to remember that we are strong. Step outside, breathe, move, feel. Choose the practices that bring us home to ourselves. Seek out what is beautiful, kind, and inspiring – add to it, and celebrate it. Shift the energy of the world by choosing to shift our own.

And mostly, let’s remember :

You are not fragile. You are powerful.

You are not meant to shrink in the face of the world’s pain, you are here to meet it with presence and clarity, and with the strength of your own integrity.

It’s easy to fall into guilt, but it serves no one. So if feeling guilty is your pattern, make it a doorway.

Because right now, the world doesn’t need more people feeling bad.

It needs more people feeling alive, awake, embodied, clear, anchored in love, ready and willing to ACT from that place.

You matter. Your energy matters.

And the way you show up – in your home, in your body, in your leadership, in your words – ripples out.

It is the time to come closer: to your body, your values, your power, your people, and to love.

Start there. Then move.

And if you need support remembering your power in the midst of it all, let’s talk.
