Avoid emotional jet-lag.
Put aside minor errors, they are distractions.
What you need to concentrate on is fixing the error, not worrying about the whys and hows of how it happened.
Serviceable aircraft have been involved in fatal crashes while the crew fixated on a landing gear position indicator. It turned out that a bulb had failed in the indicator. If they had quickly looked for cross confirmation of the fault from another source, then the bulb failure could have been quickly diagnosed and the flight would have continued safely.
Having said that, emotional jet-lag is mainly about getting bogged down in worrying about mistakes and slips that an individual makes. Learning from the error is important, but that can be done later. At the time, put the self criticism to one side and fix or mitigate the consequences.
