Setbacks are normal.
How many times have you started a new diet or made New Year's Resolutions and found it difficult to stay on point?
Setbacks are our teachers. When we fail to succeed, we have an opportunity to learn what we did wrong. Did we choose the wrong program? Did we set unrealistic goals?
Think of a recent setback and allow it to teach you. Reflect on what went wrong, why it went wrong and how you can do it better the next time.
YOU ARE NOT A FAILURE.
You must simply change your approach.
Or choose a different option entirely.
It's okay to change your mind.
It's NOT okay to keep doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results (that's the definition of stupidity :) .
Think instead about how you will do things differently next time.
Remind yourself that you almost always get a do-over.
And, as always, when the reflection is done, move on...
