Self Love/ Taking Care of My Inner Child

I just spilled a whole bunch of water trying to get it from one container to another whilst the receiving container was balanced on an unstable surface. And I was the one who placed said container on the aforementioned precarious surface.
When the water splashed on everything, I had the clear thought that I needed to support myself mentally and emotionally.
So, with that in mind, I refused to give into the temptation to beat myself up by adding coals of shame via unloving, unsupportive, unhelpful words to underscore my next best steps to take.
Staying present, I focused on finding towels for the clean up, before slowly wiping down all the affected surfaces.

When I finished, I felt like I had taken care of the little me that would have, once upon a time, gotten into trouble for making such a mistake.
