How do you be kind to yourself? I’m still beating myself for things I said or did 30 years ago. Also last week.

Accept what happened, acknowledge it, and make peace with it. Teach yourself to learn from the past without letting it harm you emotionally. And learn to forgive yourself for that which you can't change. The fact that you remember and feel bad about your mistakes implies that you're a good person at heart. Those without empathy would not regret their mistakes. Try to remember that and be kind to yourself.

I've got 30 years on top of that to look back on and cringe about. I could say you have to leave those to rot away in the past, but I don't practice what I preach much.
