Dear Friend,
There are many things you can do. The first is to accept your discomfort. Don't try to squash it down by eating, or shopping. Allow yourself to feel your feelings. You made a mistake. It doesn't make you a criminal. It makes you a human being. There were probably reasons.
So that's the first step, accept you are where you are.
Now you could do a tapping session. It's not called Emotional Freedom Technique for nothing! It's great when you feel stuck in emotional discomfort. I'd recommend you check out Brad Yates
Or listen to the Dale Carnegie "How to Stop Worrying and Start Living".
Ask yourself if you are will to look what lies behind your mistake. Do you need support or training? or is it your attitude, a lack of care and attention which you could change? If you know that you could change a habit or a mindset then resolve to do that. Then forgiving yourself will be easier.
Use the Ho'opononopono technique. The simple repetition of the "I am sorry, forgive me, thank you, I love you" will help you come back into centre.
For the pain of making a mistake is self blame, and feeling less in our own eyes. You need to affirm that your worth does not depend on always doing things right. You have value as a unique human being, who is full of potential and creativity, no matter what mistakes you may have made. Right now you can start thinking constructively.
If there is something you can do to make the situation better, do it now. Put your energy into living well now. Worry about the consequences of your mistake will do nothing to improve the situation. The tendency of your thinking is what matters. Treat yourself as kindly as you'd treat your best friend.
