Laughing at mistakes to be prouder of successes

I'm at a point in my life (and have been for a long while) where I find it difficult to be proud of myself and the things I create, but I want to feel proud again. So now I'm taking pride in the mistakes instead of the successes, and laughing at my mistakes so I know it's not that serious, and that it's okay to not be perfect. Which, in turn, actually seems to be helping me feel proud of the things I do. Instead of beating myself up when I do something 'wrong', I smile and laugh at it because it's just another step of the process and nothing serious. This is something I've only really realised now, but it seems to help. If you happen to feel this way too maybe try it for yourself :)
