This morning I worked with an athlete that is in a “slump” and cannot get around it. Many of us have failed at least once in our lives. The more we have failed the more sensitive we become to another failure and the more our behaviors change. I thought it might be useful to talk about dealing with failures of all kinds, either in sports, business, or personal life. It is true that having failed has a bearing on how we meet future risks, and costs us opportunities due to fear of failure.
When you are dealing with failure ask yourself these questions:
1. What caused the situation you or others?
2. What causes can you change?
To answer these focus on your strengths and abilities then overcome the situation by:
1.Remember the situation and recall how you felt
2. Write down these answers on a piece of paper
3. Draw a a picture of how you felt
4. Give this feeling a color NOW TEAR THE PAPER UP AND THROW IT AWAY AND THE FEELING SHOULD BE GONE. Try this and let me know how it worked for you.
