Beating Yourself Up

“The loudest arguments happen in your own head, and your greatest opponent, is yourself.” Mike Dooley – TUT
 
I used to beat myself up and criticize myself all of the time.  I was my own worst enemy.  At the end of the day where I had accomplished a lot and been of service to many, I could only remember the few things I did wrong and not the numerous things I had done right.  And if I thought it was major, I could beat myself up for days or longer.  If someone else beat me up as badly as I did to myself, I would have called him or her abusive and not tolerated their behavior, but it took me a long time to realize what I was doing to myself.
 
Mindfulness has really helped me to stop beating myself up.  I have learned to accept and surrender.  I was doing the best I could at the time.  If at the end of the day, I was unhappy about something I did, I would accept that I had done it and come up with a plan for how to deal with that type of situation in the future. I would learn from the circumstance and let go.
 
Do you criticize yourself?  If yes, how can you be less critical and more supportive?
