At times my mind gets stuck in loops focusing on mistakes I've made in my life.
While I'd like to say I can pull myself out of it by thinking of all the lessons I've learned from those mistakes, and the growth I've done from them, usually that doesn't work.
Instead I think about the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and think at least none of my mistakes are so big that people line up centuries later to gleefully take their picture with my mistake.
