Why do we berate ourselves after something goes wrong?
Really, if you think about it, this behavior is totally
counterintuitive. You're already hurting
and so…you pile on?
Obviously, this is learned behavior.
Remember those childhood 'How could you's'? And how about that 'This is for your own
good'?
We inhale these words without understanding the long term
impact, and years later use them on ourselves!
Anger is a natural human emotion - turning it inward is not!

The next time you
feel down try this:
1) Ask yourself if something specific happened
that you're upset about?
2) Objectively describe what actually happened.
3) How did you feel?
4) Did you let yourself feel angry?
5) How did you deal with your anger?
