1) When you experience failure, think of them as specific & temporary. Allowing them to snowball enables them to spill into all aspects of your life or for you to think of it as a flaw within yourself rather then an isolated event.
2) Understand change is inevitable, problems will arise & failure is part of what creates our growth. Rather then letting circumstances overwhelm you, examine why it happened, identify the emotions you are feeling & why it is so important to you.
3) Small rituals of self care allow you to maintain perspective. When you are eating right, sleeping well, exercising & maintaining a network of personal relationships you are in a better frame of mind to manage when problems occur.
4) Maintain a positive outlook. Self talk goes a long way here. Watch what words or phrases you say to yourself & replace negative ones with kind, affirming statements. I always image what I would say to my best friend if they were in the situation I was dealing with. Wallowing in self pity will never change the situation or improve it.
5) Don't waste time or energy thinking about what I call " would have, could have, should have" thoughts. You can not fix the past, you can only learn from it. Think forward & take the lessons you have learned to empower you in the future.
