Remember the key differences. When you have made a mistake, or done something wrong, self-attacking criticism leads to shame, avoidance and fear, and you feel angry and aggressive towards yourself. Compassionate self-correction, on the other hand, kindly and calmly engages with guilt; you feel sorrow and remorse, and then make appropriate reparation.
Be sure to acknowledge and understanding of your feelings, focus on your strengths and good experiences, generate self-supportive thoughts, and think about the specific behaviour you would like to change with compassionate support from yourself, for yourself.
