I’ve been exploring this series on mindset traps, and I bet you didn’t know that “guilt” was one of them. Let’s be honest, if there was a state of being that many of us moms face, it’s the state of feeling guilty. The technical term for the trap I’m exploring today is called “personalization.” Now I’ve titled this trap “guilt” for simplicity, because I am quite sure many of us identify with that word much more easily than the word “personalization”, which is the thought error, or the thinking pattern or lens, that has us attributing circumstances of our lives to ourselves in a way that creates feelings of guilt, self-blame and responsibility. Join me as we explore this trap.
