what　you’ve　done　as　productive　or　non…productive　rather　than　as　good　or　bad。　If　something　is　non…productive；　you　can　focus　on　what　you　have　learned　from　it　and　try　another　approach　that　might　be　more　productive。

Over…generalizing

Another　thing　that　might　cause　you　not　to　accept　yourself　is　over…generalizing　about　something　you’ve　done　that　you　don’t　like。　So；　for　example；　if　you　fail　a　test　you　might　generalize　and　say；　“I’m　really　a　stupid　person。”　When　you　do　this　you　are　making　a　statement　about　all　of　you　all　of　the　time　and　not　just　about　this　one　situation　at　this　time。　Instead；　you　might　decide　that　your　grade　on　this　test　in　this　subject　at　this　time　was　indeed　poor；　and　then　go　on　to　decide　what　you　want　to　do　about　your　poor　grade；　if　anything。　Getting　stuck　in　over…generalizing　discourages　you　from　taking　steps　that　might　allow　you　to　do　better　on　the　next　exam　and　builds　an　expectation　of　future　failure。
