Now, that you know
the truth about setbacks, you have to move to the next step, dealing with setbacks.
The effective handling of setbacks paves the way for your success.
Don’t get back into the race immediately. If you’ve had a severe
setback you need to address your injuries. To win long races, stamina
is more important than speed.
Four steps to deal with setbacks:
1) Give an outlet to your feelings:
Setbacks cause a feeling of depression and inadequacy. To overcome
these negative feelings is the foremost objective. These feelings
don’t vanish if you try to suppress them. Instead, they occupy some
small corner of your brain and try to plant doubts about your success
plans in the future. You need to channel them and and convert them to
positive feelings. Remember, the law of conservation of energy, the
same law applies to your feelings. Emotions aren’t created or
destroyed, they change from one form to another. Let us see, how you
can change negativity to positive.
- Don’t be afraid to cry. Once, you have done with crying,
you might feel a lot better.
- Life isn’t just about goals and dreams. There’s more to
life than that. Hang out with your friends and family. They are always there to support you and cheer you up.
