Are you- compassionate towards yourself? Or do you just reserve compassion for other people?
Do you tell your best friend “Oh, anyone can make a mistake, you’ll do better next time.” but then tell yourself when you make an error “Oh, I’m so stupid! What’s wrong with me?” And then you proceed to relive your mistake over and over in your head, not so you’ll improve but just to beat yourself up.
But you just told your friend that it as okay to make a mistake it’s no big deal- so why then should it be a big deal for you?
Ease up on yourself and cut yourself some slack.
