How do you move past a big mistake?
Remember that you are part of the human race. There are people before you who have made similar mistakes, and people coming after you who will make similar mistakes. Having compassion on yourself for making a mistake will help you to have compassion on others who make similar mistakes. Humility brings compassion.
Be kind to yourself and speak to yourself as if you were speaking to your best friend. Instead of harsh angry words, speak to yourself as if you were looking for reasons to give yourself the benefit of the doubt. Jesus died so that you can be free (Galatians 5:1) Self-criticism paralyzes you with a fear of making more mistakes. Building joy is important for those who have a habit of self criticism. Your brain is designed to learn best in an atmosphere of joy. To maintain joy it is essential to be able to make mistakes.
