We rarely talk about guilt at work, but many of us carry it every day—without realizing how much it shapes our decisions, stress levels, and even our happiness.
This week’s Joy at Work Experiment was inspired by David, a high-achieving professional who reached the top of his field only to feel disconnected and guilty for no longer loving his work. His story made me examine my own hidden guilt, and what I found was surprising.
When I did this experiment, I found that guilt crept in when I felt I didn’t allocate enough time to others or when I was so absorbed in work that I overlooked small but important moments. Recognizing this helped me adjust my calendar and approach, leading to less guilt and more self-compassion.
Give it a try. Ten minutes of reflection could change the way you experience your workday.
