As a recovering self-castigator, I have a couple of suggestions from what worked for me.

1) Acknowledge that you will most certainly screw up again, and again, and again. You cannot be perfect all the time.

2) Have faith in yourself that you will do what you can to make it right when it happens.

Again, this is what has been working for me - YMMV. As a side note, I have found it easier to not screw up once I gave myself permission to screw up.
