We are only humans. We make mistakes and fail, even when we give our best shot. Better be responsible for your acts than to be guilty of them. No self-flagellation is needed.
Self-criticize but be constructive. Give yourself specific recommendations to make positive improvements.
There’s no need to be hard on yourself. So, don’t make impossible standards and forgive yourself instead of self-loathing and penance. Be proud and smile at your progress.
