You’d never tell her she’s a loser for having fallen short. You’d never tell her she should probably just give up. Instead, focus on how to handle things differently in the future instead of ruminating on the error itself.
When you direct your brain towards problem-solving mode it will show up for you in wonderfully surprising ways!
