Miss a turn and the GPS doesn’t scream at you. It just recalculates. Do that.

A wrong turn only costs you the next few minutes unless you spend an hour narrating what an idiot you are. The route from here is all that is available, and the machine in your dashboard knows it. Self criticism feels like accountability, but it mostly delays the part where you actually adjust.

When you drop the ball this week, say the correction out loud instead of the verdict. Something like, that slipped, here is when I am doing it. Then move to the next thing without the running commentary.
