I would agree with #1 it’s good to go back over your mistakes and rethink how you could’ve done it differently. But there is a difference between that and torturing yourself because of a mistake. I do what you explained but I am getting better about it. I just go over it once in my head as in-depth as possible or even write it down. Once it is out and I know I’ve learned all I can I do my best to remind myself that I’ve already handled it and so I don’t need to worry anymore.
at my job, we have a mistake log. anytime you make a mistake, it gets put on the log and you have to initial it so the managers know you understand. then it stays there. i’m not on the log super often, but when i am, it ruins the entire shift and i just want to run out to my car and cry about it. i’m trying to be better about it because i know it’s for the betterment of the employees and it’s good for me to reflect and improve how i do my job, but it’s so hard not to just walk out and give up :(
it’s definitely rough, i keeping checking it and reading over it and obsessing for the entire shift. journaling has helped me a bit, being able to make my thoughts tangible helps keep them from bouncing around my head all day :) the more mistakes i make, the less i end up on the log because i double triple check everything. there is definitely some benefit to it, but it is really hard to feel like a good employee when there’s a record of your mistakes that everyone can see
