We all have been 'stuck' after we got some bad results, whether this was at work, college or a competition. Negative emotions and feelings can be overwhelming. Here are some tips to get 'unstuck'.
- KNOW IT WILL PASS: Everything is a feeling of the moment, know there is nothing that doesn't change and trust that also a negative emotion will pass.
- STOP: Look the truth in its face and stop! Losing is sometimes nothing more than your brain and your ego running around to escape bad feelings. Just stop for a moment and end the panicked running.
- IT IS WHAT IT IS: Sometimes you just have to accept that sh... happens. Toughen up, if you can't take the fall don't bother to get up.
- ENERGIZE: Do what energizes you: listen to music, run around the block, read, do whatever works for you.
- LEARN: See everything as learning. Bad results are a matter of perspective. A bad result doesn't necessarily mean everything was bad. Reflect with an open mind, remind yourself of your accomplishments and get some constructive feedback. Failure ceases to exist if you focus on the learning.
- SAY THANK YOU: Be grateful for what you have and what you achieved instead of what you don't have and didn't achieve.
- TAKE ACTION: Get moving again... preparing for your next 'event' is the best way to get unstuck. Take action. Know that results will always be a mix of things you can and things you can't control. Focus only on the ones you can control. And don't forget to enjoy the journey.
