We tend to be our worst enemy. We can find fault with the itsy-bitsy teeny-weeny whiff of a potential mistake. With this itsy-bitsy teeny-weeny whiff of a mistake we come down heavy on ourself in a way we would never do to someone else. Why? What is the rationale?

Let’s start overturning this destructive habit of self-flagellation. Recognize it, see the absurdity, and even chuckle. Then show this totally undeserved behavior the back door.
