80. Failure Is Just A Series of Small Actions (The Anxious Morning)
Channel: The Anxious Truth
Date: 22/04/2022

Let’s start by recognizing that failure feels awful, but it does not make us awful people.  When we fail, we feel bad.  We hurt.  We want relief from that hurt.  If we start telling everyone that we are awful failures that will never get better, we will get sympathetic responses that help soothe our pain temporarily. But there is a better way to get the support we need in those situations.

Try describing the situation with kinder words and in a more objective way without adding judgment about yourself.

The second step we can take to process our failures in a better way is to recognize that the failure is the result of things we DO, not the result of who we are.  Failure is just the result of a series of small choices and actions that lead to a result that you don’t want. 

This is The Anxious Morning for April 22, 2022.
