I used to be one of these people, especially like when I got off a call that didn't go my way, would be like, you're fucking useless, how did you not know to say XYZ? So instead of that kind of like bashing yourself down every time you make a mistake or something, I started to take the approach of, okay, that didn't go my way, what could have been improved? Or you could even say, what am I proud of today? This, this, this. Okay, what's one lesson that I learned today? Okay, this was the lesson. Okay, how can my best self show up tomorrow? How can I improve tomorrow? I should be getting up at this time, I should be doing the cold shower, I should be training, my level should be here, but it's not that. This is how you want to perform.
