Don't carry rocks
Things feel overwhelming and burdensome.
Problem
You or other people around you whose opinions matter to you, berate you and put you down.
You doubt your capabilities.
You remember your past mistakes and you feel overwhelming embarrassment or feel asamed.
Recommendation
Accept the truth - If you did make a mistake, face it and own up to it. Acknowledge the truth that you did something wrong.
Forgive yourself - If you did make a mistake, acknowledge it and learn from it. Understand exactly why you made the mistake, and make commitments to not make the same mistake.
Don't waste energy; focus your attention - Focus your energy and efforts into doing better next time. Don't waste energy on bringing yourself down.
Conserve your energy. The journey is far, and you have much to accomplish. Don't waste your time and energy carrying unneeded baggage that will weigh you down.
