Life is a very shaky thing. A couple of wrong actions and now you lose your balance and practically fall. Another action in the wrong direction - you fell. It hurts, it hurts, it’s uncomfortable. And sometimes it’s embarrassing. And at this moment, two things help - admitting that you were wrong, and a little (and sometimes a lot) support. Admitting your mistake is an important aspect for further development. Admit that you were wrong somewhere, messed up, or did something that does not correspond to your value. In interpersonal relationships or in relation to oneself. Quietly saying with an inner voice “I was wrong” is already a big step. Admitting a mistake to another is a step of courage and bravery. Realize and acknowledge your feelings, not driving them away, but carefully holding them, like a little kitten. They have a place to be, no matter how uncomfortable they may be at the moment. Support (or self-support) is the ability to gather strength again, get up with broken knees in order to continue your journey further. Understand the universality of errors, the imperfection of man as a living being. For example, you can say to yourself: - This is difficult, but I can handle it - Many people would feel something similar in such a situation - What can I do for myself now? - When I make mistakes, I can avoid hurting myself with criticism, and support yourself - Mistakes and failures are a normal part of life. It’s hard for me, but I can cope - It’s normal in such a situation to feel what I feel. Support yourself or a loved one instead of driving yourself into the framework of shame, criticism, stopping and constraining movement. Think about how you can help yourself in this situation? What can be done to resolve it? Sometimes a mistake can no longer be corrected, and then it becomes a life experience. Life is a shaky thing. Kindness + self-support in moments of “broken knees” is one of the ways to help yourself withstand the instability of life’s path. And then move on, taking into account your own mistakes. Checking whether I am right now going towards my values, towards what is important to me. And am I the person I want to be? Psychologist Erofeeva Valentina.
