Take some Time Reflect Yourself

Reflection entails thoughtful consideration. The most beneficial reflection involves the focused evaluation and analysis of ideas and actions for the purpose of learning.
Reflection allows the brain to pause in the midst of chaos to untangle and filter through observations and experiences, examine numerous possible interpretations, and generate meaning. This meaning becomes knowledge, which can then be used to shape future attitudes and actions.

Reflecting can be done in a variety of methods (including journaling) and is tailored to the individual reflecting, but the main thing is to look over your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours to evaluate where you met your standards, where you fell short, and where you can improve.

You might also examine your standards to see if they are appropriate for you to hold yourself to. You can try journaling, chanting aloud, or simply sitting quietly and thinking, whatever helps you reflect on yourself.
