What do you do if you're struggling to bounce back from failure?

When we can accept "failure" as just another step in our journey, we can move forward more empowered, armed with new and improved information. It is merely crucial feedback from action taken that we must pay attention to so we may grow either in the same direction or a new one. We have all heard how many times Edison "failed" before he succeeded. One of my favorite proverbs " Fall down 7 times, Stand up 8".

Allow yourself to feel the disappointment, frustration, or sadness that comes with failure. It's okay to feel these emotions; denying them can make it harder to move forward.

Aceptar la realidad es muy importante pero además observar y entender cómo es esa realidad. Aceptarla por si misma te ayuda a empezar el camino de empezar a mejorar. Para mejorar antes y mejor, es necesario ser consciente de en que lugar estás realmente parado y que necesitas para avanzar.

This can be really hard. Easy to say but maybe less easy to do. Maybe we are conditioned to not really like the failure. I write it down, as a perceived failure. This is then the start to opening up the next stage. What did I learn from this. Everything brings an opportunity and we can decide if it does or not.

Struggling to bounce back from failure is normal, but setbacks can be valuable learning experiences. Here's how to overcome failure: - Acknowledge Your Feelings: Allow yourself to feel disappointment, frustration, or sadness. - Practice Self-Compassion: Be kind to yourself; failure doesn't define your worth. - Reflect on the Experience: Identify mistakes and learn from them. - Set Realistic Goals: Break goals into achievable steps and focus on progress.

Bouncing back from failure involves a constructive and forward-looking approach: 1. Accept and Analyze: Begin by accepting the failure, then critically analyze the reasons behind it. Identify decision-making errors and the impact of unforeseen circumstances. 2. Learn and Adapt: Use the insights gained from your analysis to learn and adapt. Consider what could be done differently in future situations. 3. Plan Strategically: Develop a clear plan for moving forward. Set realistic goals and outline actionable steps to avoid past mistakes. 4. Stay Positive: Maintain a positive mindset. View failure as a valuable learning opportunity that paves the way for future successes.

Take some time to analyze what led to the failure. Were there any mistakes you made? Were there external factors beyond your control? Understanding the causes can help you avoid similar pitfalls in the future.

You must only focus on what you can control, there could be causes outside of your sphere of influence and those you must let go otherwise they will pollute you for a very long time. Back to the causes. You will know if and how the failure happened, but remember to be curious as you are looking for how to make it better for next time.

A network of supportive people around is crucial. Often when we are in the middle of a crisis, setback or failure, we can not see all of the other possibilities. Be sure to have a like-minded community that has your best interest at heart. It is these sources that will help build you back up, see things from new and different perspectives and provide new lenses to see through.

Don't be afraid to reach out to friends, family, mentors, or a therapist for support. Talking about your experience with others can provide perspective and encouragement.

This is where coaching really benefits. an independent person to hold you accountable, face those fears and move on stronger and wiser. Never be afraid to ask for help. Be careful who you ask. If you ask people because you want the same answer as you then thats not helping identify the root cause, although it might be cathartic.

Analysing is good to a degree, results are also shrouded in luck, chance, and factors that we are unaware of. Being aware of this helps me with failure as I know that parts are under my control and other parts are not. Many of my main successes have also included luck, chance, and factors I am sure I didn't know were at play.

After refining your action plan with feedback from your network and evaluating your previous results, remain flexible. You will want stay open to making course corrections and adjustments, with the understanding that progress is about learning and evolving, not about avoiding failure.

Here, I add green post its with the failure and the learning. As time passes I see just how many more yellow post it notes there are compared to green ones. On the whole things are actually not that bad. This visual representation helps you pivot and focus on the positive steps that exist, it's just we focus on the negative with ease.

Once you have gathered all of the feedback from the "failure", it is crucial to be willing to change, to do something different, re-approach it in another way than you did before based on what you have learned. Try to look at it from new and different perspectives. Look for all of the possibilities and opportunities, whether it is picking right back up where you left off with a slight adjustment or making the decision to head in a new direction. Remember the definition of insanity...Doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result.

Psychology confirms that having at least one person who believes in you can help you overcome any obstacle. This supportive person could be you, a family member, a friend, or a coach. When you have someone in your corner who truly believes in your potential, you gain the resilience needed to bounce back from any setback or failure

Set your standards high and your expectations low. Having a set of high standards will always help you strive for excellence, however setting your expectations too high can often lead to disappointment. Lower expectations can help build resilience and resilience matters for success. It is never an easy or straight journey to the top.

Remember that setbacks are a natural part of life, and everyone experiences failure at some point. What's important is how you respond to it. Cultivate resilience by maintaining a positive attitude, staying focused on your goals, and persevering in the face of challenges.

The discomfort of failure is undeniable, but it's crucial not to let it deter your progress. It's important to recognize and process your feelings, but then swiftly realign your focus towards the future. Remember, this setback does not define you.

Concentrate on the achievements you can secure from here on. By doing so, you will not only recover from this challenge but also emerge stronger and more resolute than ever.

Finally, don't let failure define you or hold you back. Use it as motivation to keep pushing forward and striving for success. Remember, setbacks are temporary, but your resilience and determination are enduring.

Getting started is often the toughest part, so maintaining any momentum you've created in the past is important. You can achieve this by taking consistent action, even if they are small steps, and allow the energy of your activity to inch you closer to your goals. Remember, don't stop moving forward.

It’s the feeling we attach to failure that delivers the punch, not the failure itself. And the feeling is created by thoughts. If failure makes you think you’re lesser than somebody else, or you’re stupid, or useless, or you’ll never amount to anything, etc, then the ‘feeling of failure’ will persist. It will become a blueprint that you follow every time you make a mistake. Sounds horrible! So change the thoughts. Focus on feelings of satisfaction rather than dissatisfaction. Look at what went well and the feelings associated with this. You can then view what went wrong from a different standpoint. And if you really want to change, find a Paseda360 coach who’ll work with you to find the 1st time you designed the blueprint.

This is about the crucial aspect of growth mindset versus fixed mindset. Instead of viewing outcomes as pass or fail, correct or incorrect, embracing the perspective of continual learning, improvement and that adaptation fosters resilience and progress. By shifting our focus towards what we can learn from experiences, we empower ourselves to become stronger and more focused, capable of overcoming challenges and achieving our goals.

Stop, don't expect too much early on. Remember failure isn't permanent, it may be painful but but its just another step in life. If you need it find a coach and mentor, if not take the biggest step that doesn't terrify you but stretches as a result of learning from the failure

If you're finding it challenging to bounce back from failure, it's important first to acknowledge your emotions and permit yourself to feel disappointed or frustrated. Reflect on what went wrong and what you can learn from the experience. Focus on the lessons gained rather than dwelling on the setback itself. Break down the situation into manageable steps and create a plan to move forward. Seek support from friends, family, or mentors who can offer encouragement and perspective. Practice self-compassion and remind yourself that setbacks are a natural part of the journey toward success. Use the experience as motivation to refine your approach, set new goals, and persist in your efforts.
