I have been feeling guilty lately. My therapist, Penny, tells me repeatedly that guilt is a worthless emotion, much like second-guessing what has already been completed. She is right, but that doesn’t mean I listen to her. Which makes me feel guilty.
The newest guilt is over wellness. It’s all the rage now, and there are seemingly a million stories a day on the subject, or at least as many as shots of Taylor Swift during the Super Bowl—how to sleep, how to eat, how to clean your ears, how to read a book, how to have sex.
