That internal dialogue has got to stop... NOW. You did the best you could with the tools you had at the time. You are where you are... now you have newer better tools... use them.
Oh, here's where tone I think gets lost on email... I was saying it more in the vein of "might've been better to do x, but it's in the past and I can't change that now so all I can do is start doing X now and that's what I plan to do..."
I know that I have done lots of "I could've, should've, would've done x y z" so I can see how it would be read that way but this time I actually wasn't thinking/feeling or intending it to come across that way!
I agree-- my self defeating internal dialogue DOES need to stop!
