The way to not feed the ego is to acknowledge the thought, and discover the feelings behind it. Ask how it makes you feel, then decide if it works for you or if another approach works better for you.
Your ego is overpowering and wants to run your life, but your soul (your feelings) really tell all you need to know. But don't ignore your thpoughts, even if they're negative- don't dwell on them either. Find out why you have that thought, and decifer how you want to suspend that thought and connet it with your feelings so that you can move on.
Things happen- they aren't accidents, so don't have regrets- just acknowledge that you made a choice that didn't work, and you will make a mental note not to do it again. It's all a learning experience- more like a discovering experience- with choices that you shouldn't be ashamed of, but accept them as a way of helping you discover who you are and what works for you. If you didn't make those choices, then how would you evolve? Don't be hard on yourself, just accept this as a healthy experience to further your conscious thoughts and feelings toward choices and actions you make.
You rock....and as usual, I agree.

As my sig states.....

Life is Pain= Reality will never be completely pleasant.
Pain is Knowledge= Think carefully about the Why.
Knowledge is Life= If you can learn from something, it is serving a purpose
