Hello and welcome to the new mindset hootis podcast. My name is Case Kenney at case.kens.k on

Instagram and this is my weekly podcast where I create short no BS episodes dedicated to helping

you become the person you're meant to be, leave your comfort zone and live a purposeful and

fulfilling life. Let's go.

Thank you. live a purposeful and fulfilling life. Let's go. All right. Welcome to episode 733. Hello, my friend. Welcome to a fresh new episode of New Mindset Who Dis, as always. Thank you so much for listening. Thank you for supporting me. And today, in an effort to help you and me be happier and more free and more aligned with ourselves, I want to help us escape these circumstances in life where we finally do the difficult thing. We stand up for ourselves. We say, that's not enough for me. We make the tough decision, the thing we know

needed to be done. But then someone else calls us selfish for doing it, or they say we're

asking for too much, or we're doing too much. They basically shame us. They try to make us feel guilty for

doing the best for us. In those instances, I want to help us stand firm and not feel guilty, not feel bad,

not renegotiate simply because someone is trying to make us feel that way. And I wanted to do this

episode because I saw this tweet

the other day that said, don't ever let anyone make you feel guilty because they are suffering

the consequences of their own actions. And I just thought that was so true. And the more we can

hold that in our heads when someone tries to throw a standard or a boundary or whatever it may be

back at us, the more we can hold firm in knowing we did the right thing, no matter how someone

tries to shame us, that is the most powerful thing we can do. So it's a really true statement.

Don't let someone make you feel guilty because they are suffering the consequences of their actions.

It's true.

It's powerful because people will always try to hand you guilt when their life unravels or when you don't fill in the blank in the way they wanted to when you don't meet their expectation.

And when that happens, for them, it's the easiest way

to dodge responsibility by trying to make you feel guilty. But we don't have to fall for it.

We don't have to let someone else convince us that their pain is our fault when it's the direct

result of the choices they made. Like some examples I could think of from my own life. Think about a friend
