Be kind to yourself.

Self-criticism has its uses; on the whole, it's better to be a bit too self-critical rather than not self-critical enough! But when that voice in your head goes on and on about your failings, you do need to challenge it. Let's face it, if someone else were as constantly and savagely critical of our behavior as we ourselves can be, we'd tell them to back off! Remind yourself that you're doing your best and you're only human.

And tell that voice that you'd be able to take its criticisms more seriously if it had ever acknowledged some of your good qualities! Be kinder to others, too. It's easier to forgive if you remember that generally people “know not what they do”. We often judge people harshly to make ourselves feel better, but it actually sucks all the joy out of our relationships.
