Some days, I spend a lot of time regretting the way I did a certain thing, the things I said to a person or the way I behaved at a meeting or similar.

Often, it’s not so much that what I did, or the way I did it was so horrible that other people would think anything bad about me, but I was just feeling stupid because I felt I should have “done better”. My standards are often pretty high.

However, I do have a technique to fight off those thoughts that works fairly well when I use it. The problem lies when I agree – logically, not just emotionally – with my thoughts fully or partly, and that I really think that the other people involved thought bad of me.

Then what do I do? Suggestions are welcome.
