![Meet guilt. Guilt was originally supposed to be included in the new Inside Out movie, but was removed as director Kelsey Mann decided that it was “too heavy” [1]. Guilt is an important emotion for managing our relationships, something that’s very important for children as they transition to adolescence. Do you think guilt should have been included in Inside Out 2?

![Have you ever skipped one or more gym sessions and found yourself feeling guilty about it? When we sway from our daily exercise routine, it can cause feelings of guilt from letting ourselves down, as if we have hurt the person we want to be! While this guilt can sometimes be a good thing to get us into a regular habit of exercise, it's perhaps not the best way of keeping to a routine. Here are some ways around avoiding this gym guilt!:

![Have you ever been in this situation, where you get an opportunity (such as a promotion, or a pay raise) but your friend does not? You might feel guilt for winning over someone you care for. Although you did nothing to hurt them, it can leave you feeling awkward in your relationship, worried what your friend will think of you, or how they will respond to your opportunity. Although you may feel sorry for your friend, it is important to understand that this is a misplaced form of guilt, because you are not responsible for your friend’s feelings of disappointment. You can practicing having gratutide for our own accomplishments, and acknowledge that you feel sorry that your friend did not have the same outcomes [1].

![Artificial intelligence has become a popular tool for professionals to use in assisting with everyday work tasks, but the question is, should we feel guilty about using it? One reason why people feel guilty from using AI is because they are not living up to their own internal standards of what it means to do their own work. It may feel like cheating, and that you are letting your coworkers down. Instead of feeling guilty for using AI at work, we can see AI as a another tool, to complement and enhance our work tasks [1].

![Frequent excessive and inappropriate guilt is featured in the DSM-5 criteria for major depressive disorder [1]. This guilt can be exacerbated by taking on personal responsibility for depressive symptoms, in part because of the societal stigma surrounding mental health disorders [2, 3]. Today, and every day we recognize the difficulties of those who struggle with mental health disorders. No one should ever feel guilty for having a mental health disorder, nor for taking care of their mental health. #bellletstalk @bell_letstalk

![It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Except for our wallets. The pressure to buy Christmas gifts can lead to a double dose of guilt - first from feeling that we need to buy for everyone and second from ending up spending too much money! Strategies such as budgeting, communicating expectations to recipients, using games such as the White Elephant Gift exchange, and giving homemade gifts can help reduce the overall cost of spending gifts, therefore allowing you to give to more people [1].

![With resturants financially struggling after coming out of the Covid-19 pandemic, new norms for tipping became common [1]. Tipping on take-out food became standard and many debit and credit card machines now show a minimum tipping option of 18% or even more [1]. These changes lead to guilt in some people but anger in others. How do you feel when you see 18% as the lowest option?
