I don't. I embrace it, learn from it, beat myself up for it and try to do better.
How do you embrace something that hurts you?
Avoiding the pain and humiliation doesn't make it go away. Realize that by doing that it will be with you the rest of your life.
The only way to make it fade is to face it, embrace it, admit it, and experience it, with an eye toward learning from it. Then, you can put it behind you. Your mind is trying to do the right thing for you, that's why it's nagging you to face it.
You do it by stopping resisting.
A failure, or mistake, is only a mistake if you dont learn from it!
Read up on "equanimity". It's been a thing for thousands of years. Lots of mediation, buddhist, Taoist traditions etc cover it.
