EVERYONE makes mistakes.... you are not alone. Just endeavor to make creative new ones rather than repeating the same ones..... that is my approach. If I do make the same one AGAIN I tend to think, "Ok, maybe I will learn from it THIS time." Usually I don't make the same mistake more than 3 times..... but what mistakes I make the important thing is to be able to forgive myself because if I can't do that it is harder to forgive others their mistakes too. Forgiving others and oneself comes from recognizing the humanity we ALL share, from realizing ALL people are fallible, and, if nobody was hurt irreparably, the forgiveness flows from me more easily.

Try looking at your situation as you would if you were the best friend of the person making the mistake. Doing that will help you BECOME your own best friend.... tell yourself what you would tell your best friend if he/she made that same mistake. Then smile. You're worth it.
