How do you navigate making mistakes?
Reflection
One of the many lessons I’ve learned — more so in the past month than any other time in my life — is how I feel when I make mistakes. From embarrassment to shame, anxiety, and even confusion; I found that it’s really rough for me. I’m learning though, that even in the midst of navigating my feelings following a mistake I’ve made, it’s OK to be kind to myself. I’m not a bad person for not knowing something, trying something new, and not succeeding in the ways I wanted, or even exhibiting a symptom of my mental health condition.
What are your thoughts on making mistakes? How do you navigate situations where it happens?
Reminder: It’s OK to make mistakes and move forward. You are not your mistakes!

What are you proud of yourself for doing recently?
I struggle so much with being proud of myself 😩. I think for me it has a lot to do with my perfectionist tendency to believe I should already know certain things even when I haven’t experienced it yet… make it make sense 🤦🤔. But, in light of understanding this about myself, I wanted to spread some cheer today with sharing accomplishments.
What’s something you did recently, no matter how big or small, that you’re proud of yourself for?
My Reflection
For me, it was standing up for myself, speaking up, and putting my needs and what I wanted for myself first before making a decision.
