Anxious over a mistake I made at work

[gfyourself]

Ok, so in the shower this morning I realized that I didn't update a system like I was supposed to last week. So the month end reporting is going to be wrong... unless IT is able to fix it manually before the reporting is run.
I'm totally anxious and ruminating about this since I figured it out on Sunday.
It makes me feel bad.
If I had much positive stuff going on in my life perhaps it would seem smaller. But I don't - and when I think what I said in the previous sentence it makes me feel even worse.
Even though I've done all I can to fix it and can't really do anything until tomorrow morning, I'm still anxious about it.
Well, typing about it here makes me feel a little better. Not much, but a little.
I should probably go and write down some stuff that I am grateful for that might help. Or do some yoga (that I've done myself at home only once in my life so don't think I"m like this big yoga person).

Sorry this is causing you grief! But try to think this way:

1. Everyone screws up sometimes
2. It sounds like this is fixable
3. You probably won't make this mistake again, right?
4. On a lighter note, tell IT that this was a test for them!

Don't be too hard on yourself, okay?

Thanks for the reply - we'll see how it goes!

Things happen, we are all human.

So I told my boss yesterday and it was no big deal... good news!
