Many of us have done things that we wish we hadn't, and we get reminded of our mistakes every so often. The greater the emotional attachment we have to the mistake, the more likely it is that we will continue to beat ourselves up about it.
It is said that we should make amends by apologising, repairing, or showing penance for our error. In addition to this, it can be helpful to:
👉 Promise yourself not to make the same mistake again.
👉 Work on yourself to ensure the mistake is not repeated.
👉 Help others who find themselves in the same situation as you.
When you make a mistake look at it for what it is, a mistake. No mistake is so big that you can't move on from it. Feel the emotion, make a plan for moving forward, visualise working through the plan, and take action on the first step. Each time you do this it gets much easier.
Mistakes are a part of life, and life is never a straight line.
