You Aren't Your Mistakes

Something that I really have to work on sometimes is realizing that I am not my mistakes. I am not a messed up person just because I messed up. There is a big difference. A mistake can be the "whY" you start using negative self-talk, and the perfect time to take an Offramp and reassess when you are ready to deal with your mistake, not ignore it by criticizing yourself (maybe about something totally different).
