How can we disappear Guilt, Shame, and avoid Blame?

We escape Guilt, Shame, and Blame
as soon as we choose a language that empowers us.

For example, all of the following provide freedom.

Choosing Accountability negates Guilt.

Responsibility negates Blame and Shame.

Blame never ends.
Choose Response-ability.

When we Intend in place of Try we produce results that are ours to claim.

Try is a dead end that leads us nowhere.

Life begins to move once we exchange
I am Sorry for I Apologize.

I am sorry is about you. I apologize is about us and the future of our relationship.

Make a Plan to avoid Hope.

Planning is far more likely to call forth results than Hoping for them.

By choosing Anticipation, we've avoid Wishing.

Anticipation calls forth positivity.
Wishing is utterly unreliable.

All of the above will provide us with paths forward.

For example,

The moment you choose Apology:

You enjoy the benefits of Accountability over Guilt.

Once you choose Accountability, you have actions that resolve and transform the negative incidentd.

As you take action,Guilt, Shame, and Blame all fade away.

Words matter. Choose freedom by avoiding dis-empowering language.

Choose language that provides you with the experience of being alive.

Is your relationship on cruise control?

Has this ever happened to you?

Driving your car, you discover that not only are you past your exit, but you are a number of miles further down the road!

You wonder, “Where am I? How did I get here?”

Or have you ever woken wondering, “Who is that in my bed next to me?”

Your confusion was genuine. Your car and your relationship were both on cruise control, operating on autopilot.

Don’t get the wrong idea. There is nothing wrong with your brain.
It was only doing the job for which it was designed.

In relationships, zoning out, driving, and switching off your awareness can lead to an expensive relationship “citation” - or a front-row seat to the subsequent breakdown in your relationship.

Using relationship cruise control to drive your life, taking your partner for granted, pretending you understand when you do not, and failing to be aware of the people around you – are all breakdowns waiting to happen.

Ask, “Am I in the driver’s seat—or passenger in my marriage?”

How do we disappear guilt?

Swap the language you and I use to experience our life and living.
Exchange Guilt for Responsibility and Accountability.

Accountability provides you with a path forward.

Exchange Shame for Responsibility.
Responsibility and Accountability provide you with paths forward.

You can take actions that repair and can heal that which you were once Ashamed of.

For example, you can Apologize for what you did.

The moment you Apologize:

You have an opportunity to choose Accountability.
Once you choose Accountability, you can take actions to transform the original situation.
Once you take action, you begin to disappear Guilt and Shame.

Get free of dis-empowering language.
Choose a language that provides you with the experience of being alive.

Five Sources of cheating and infidelity

It is useful to consider that cheating is a symptom, not a cause.

Then the question becomes “a symptom of what?”

As a Marriage and Communication Coach there are five sources of cheating and infidelity:

Lack of effective communication and relationship skills.
Lack of self and mutual awareness of each other's Love Languages.
Frustration arising from attempting to love one another in ineffective love languages.
Lack of self and mutual awareness of personality types and the opportunities and challenges of differing personalities.
Behavioral legacies, coping strategies, developed during childhood and experiences from previous marriages.

All of the above will continue to run beneath the surface of marriages, distorting relationships,

Until those dysfunctional patterns are distinguished, overwritten, and replaced with a new set of life empowering “codes" the probability is that infidelity and cheating will remain.
