I don't know if it'll help you, but it does me: imagine what you could have done to improve the situation, and instaed of feeling bad that that didn't happen, feel confident and secure in the knowledge that you now have the foresight to prevent the same mistake again! For me, that's one sure-fire way to gain confidence: by _making_ mistakes, and being open to learning from them. I do it every day... every... day... hrm, including 40 minutes ago.

I think we've all been in the same exact position you are in right now. Not that that helps you...or maybe it does? Just know that everything seems better with a new day... and as hard as it sounds we need those yuck-days to make ourselves stronger. To learn. We are human afterall, we make mistakes. And thats totally OK. ~shells :) Hi Marisa. I think we’ve all been in the same exact position you are in right now. Not that that helps you…or maybe it does?

I find that it often helps to put things in perspective over time because otherwise it can feel like everything in the moment hinges on them. You're smart to keep a level head about this. Sounds like you know what you messed up, but you won't let yourself get too beat up about it (either by yourself or from your boss). Things like this happen, but you'll get past it and so will your boss.
