Do you sometimes beat yourself up because of something you did? Maybe you made a mistake that cost your company time or money, or maybe you said something that hurt another person’s feelings, and for the rest of the day, and maybe even the next day and far into the future, you relive that mistake and wish you hadn’t made it?

Why do we do that to ourselves?

The reasoning part of our brains aren’t fully developed until we’re in our mid-twenties, meaning that things we experienced or heard before that were processed differently than we would process them now with our grown-up brain.

Let that sink in.

Things said to you as a child may have hit you hard, creating a feeling that you had to be perfect in order to be worthy and loved. That was wrong then and it’s wrong now – it was just your child-brain misunderstanding.

Perfection is unattainable – whenever you find your brain beating you up over a mistake, remind yourself that no one is perfect, not even you. If you need to make amends to someone, do it. Do what you need to do to help fix the situation caused by your mistake and move on.
