How can I give myself grace for the mistakes I have made and remain positive, rather than get depressed, angry, and anxious?

Even if it is said easier than done whenever we do get angry or upset or whatnot. In a way we lose, not as in losing a race or a game of cards. But we lose a part of ourselves, and with that: We lose precious time we could have spent on more positive things. I believe in understanding when how when to be hard on oneself and the times we should not. There is a time and a place for everything after all. I personally have noticed that positivity goes many times further than negativity. So you should wonder to yourself: Will I let negativity dictate my life or positivity. To me, the answer is clear, but not always as easy.

In my personal experience, there have been things I wish I could go back in time and change. All those mistakes that I have made, have really helped form who I am now. Mistakes can be lessons learned. It can be hard sometimes to not feel bad about certain things. But accepting that we cannot change what has happened and use those experiences as a learning opportunity can really change your perspective. If I made a certain mistake, what did I learn from that? Did that experience actually have some positive impact? I myself have made mistakes and it took time before I realized that I may have needed those mistakes to happen.
