How Not to Be Manipulated by Guilt Trip

I am re-reading the book Maximum Achievement by Brian Tracy and got into his tips on how to free yourself from guilt. Here are my notes:

  1. Eliminate destructive self-criticism
    • Through your thoughts
    • Through your words such as self-deprecating words
  2. Full Responsibility
    • Do not blame, criticize, or condemn
  3. Refuse to be manipulated
    • Silence
    • Broken Record approach – “Are you trying to make me feel guilty?”
  4. Refuse to discuss the guilt of others
    • Refuse to gossip, backbite and bad-mouth
