Do you know what it means when someone says "be gentle with yourself?" 
Part of it is how you speak to yourself when you mess up. I wonder... What does your inner voice sound like? Are you hard on yourself, beating yourself up and castigating yourself? Or are you compassionate and understanding of yourself? This is not about shaming you, it is about empowering you with the tools you need to practice self compassion and "in" courage yourself! 

Here are some journal prompts for those who want to go deeper.

"In" courage Journal prompts:

1. How would you act if you knew you were 100% worthy of love and care?
2. What would it look like to be gentle on yourself?..... What else?
3. What would you say to a dear friend if they were going through what you're going through?..... Now write that to yourself, using your name.

I'd love to know how you go with this.
