How do you get rid of feelings of guilt?

I can’t seem to say No to my kids, my spouse, anyone. In not saying no, I find myself restricted to things I might enjoy doing because I am so busy doing for everyone else.

I was asked this question once, and I still remember the scenario in my head, when I feel guilty. If you are on an airplane, and the masks drop, whose mask do you put on first–yours or your child. Of course, I answered wrong, and said my childs (yet, out of love). The correct answer is you would put yours on first because you could pass out in the process of trying to put the mask on your child. Then you both would be without oxygen. You put your mask on first, to save you both. In other words, you need your health, and mental well-being in order to do for others. You come first (but not in the selfish-sense). Try to think of that scenario in your head when you feel guilty, because, you shouldn’t feel guilty.
