Resilience

After spending the weekend stressing about a minor issue at work where I made an essential but unpopular decision and got some inevitable flak for it, I know I need to be more resilient. Currently I am oversensitive to criticism and get wound up about minor things. The most recent situation was a strange one because I knew rationally it was very minor and would blow over and was an inevitable part of a job I generally enjoy. But I still couldn't stop myself going over how I could have handled it better (my approach could certainly have been tweaked but I was always going to upset somebody!) I have no idea how I would cope if I had a proper severely stressful experience eg illness of close family member or something. It may be relevant to mention that I used to have a different role where a minor mistake could actually have very severe consequences eg getting sued. So this may affect my dealings with work. But anyway, I just don't know where to start to let this sort of thing wash over me rather than winding me up. Any top tips??
