Is Exercise Guilt a Prompting of the Holy Spirit?
It's 8:02 PM Eastern on Thursday evening and my new psalter has arrived, but instead of digging into it I am noticing some exercise guilt because I didn't make it outside for a walk today and I am wondering if this guilt is a prompting from the Holy Spirit because I have sinned. What if I didn't sin because I attended to higher priorities, and this is an attack from the other side?
Google Gemini AI says that my exercise guilt is NOT a prompting of the Holy Spirit. Here are several relevant articles for further study:
- Conviction vs Guilt: The Astonishing Truth You Need to Know
- Is Not Exercising A Sin?
- Joyful Health Co™
- Satan Wants You to Feel Bad | Catholic Answers Magazine
- The Struggle with Scrupulosity | Catholic Answers Magazine
It looks like my root issue here might not be a lack of exercise, but a failure to understand the difference between the Holy Spirit as the world's best cheerleader and Satan as the world's worst guilt-tripper.
