Tip: Stop Replaying the Past
As you pursue your life goals and try to improve yourself, you cannot allow yourself to be defeated by past guilt or false, self-destructive beliefs. Replace thoughts of yourself as "a failure" or "a loser," with beliefs like "I am on the right track," and "I will succeed this time."
