Well that didn't go as planned. But what can you learn from the situation? How can you make the most of it? How can you even use it to your advantage? There is probably a way if you look for it - and open yourself up to the possibilities.

I am practicing self compassion when I make mistakes. But I find it to be an interesting push and pull. I want to get continually better at things and push myself, and yet to also be okay with mistakes. It feels somewhat contradictory. However, no matter who we are and what we are doing, if [...]
