Self esteem comes from overcoming something, from fighting your way through to the other side and knowing you beat it. Just feel whatever you are feeling, without judging it or judging yourself for feeling it. Let go of the story you have created around it and just be with the feeling.
All any feeling wants is to be felt fully. This can only be done when you let go of your resistance to feeling it, which is kept in place by the story and the judgment around it.
Without the story and the labels, feelings are inherently neutral. Feel the feeling fully, then just let it dissolve. Avoid making the same mistakes again but don't limit yourself by assuming you failed before so you can't succeed this time. Try again, you're wiser and stronger. Don't be trapped in the past!
