A few weeks ago I wrote about learning curves. Everyone makes mistakes at some point or another. What I'm trying to work on with that, having been the mistake maker, is to learn from my mistake, and take in the situation and decide what I would have done better, what can happen in order to avoid the mistake in the future, and also remind myself that how others handled it is not necessarily how I would have handled it.
Fast forward to today - I'm attempting to reconcile that I still feel like an ass for making a mistake, and how to let that go. One of my goals for the new year, among many, is to let things roll off my back. Now I'm just trying to figure out what the best way for me to do that is...

If envisioning your bad feelings drifting off as you think "let it go" doesn't work, try figuring out why you feel like you need to beat yourself up over it. And, then, deal with those feelings. Might work. Good luck!
hey angela,
it seems like you are being very hard on yourself - not only for making a mistake, but also for not being able to let it go! if you cant let it go just yet, thats fine. the only way we stop beating ourselves over things, is to accept ourselves. so, for now, try to accept that you cant let it go! i know you probably dont want to wallow, but berating yourself for not being a certain way will only intensify what you are feeling.

I struggle with the same things!!
Wow, you are such a 'big' person. You take things too hard and that's just a sign of a good conscience. I wish I could be like that sometimes! haha!
