One feeling I struggle with a lot is guilt, especially when I miss a workout or don’t get through my to-do list. Even if the reason is something small, like being tired or busy, I carry it with me for days. It makes me feel stuck, because instead of moving forward, I just replay what I “should have” done. I know guilt is a normal emotion, but it can be draining. I’ve heard that self-help tools can offer guidance in those moments. I’m curious if anyone’s used them to handle guilt in a healthier way.

I completely relate to this struggle with guilt over missed workouts and incomplete tasks. I used to carry that weight for days too, constantly replaying what I should have accomplished. What helped me was reframing those moments as data rather than failures. I started using mindfulness apps that taught me to acknowledge the guilt without judgment, then redirect my energy toward what I could control next. The key breakthrough was realizing that beating myself up actually prevented me from taking action. Now when guilt creeps in, I take a few deep breaths, remind myself that progress isn't linear, and sometimes distract myself with something light like Block Blast to reset my mindset.
