Feeling Guilty- No Reason

[rush]

For some strange reason, i tend to feel guilty if I'm not always working to my full capacity. If i slack off, take a night of revision, maybe go out somewhere i tend to get a strong guilty emotion which i don't know exactly why occurs. It's as if i don't allow myself to deserve to have a break and therefore feel like I'm slacking. 

Any tips to deal with this?

This kind of guilt might help you in the long term.  If you are willing to take always the emotionally uncomfortable decisions you'll have succeess at anything.

Do you ask yourself though -   What's the point of feeling guilty if you already did something/are doing it.

Does it help tuning into the moment ?

Have you tried not associating with the guilt ? (Easier said than done of course, but with enough practice achievable) 

 

I don't think this concerns as much your topic, but you might also find something helpful.

Follow your heart in the path of choice. you can plan the event only if knowing the outcome .. as in knowing limits of your inner "game plan" so to speak.
