It's okay to be harsh on yourself

Everyone keeps saying, "Don't be so hard or yourself" but no, you're allowed to be hard on yourself. That's a way to reflect and figure out what went wrong, why it went wrong, how much you were responsible, and if you can do anything about it. So don't be afraid, beat yourself up (mentally) on occasion, it might just be the kickstart you need.

I would add that it’s a normal process of maturity and growth. But for it to be a useful tool you must also know how to pick yourself up not just beat yourself up. This tool is not for the weary.
