I’d love to hear from you! Text me
Failing at something is different than being a failure. You feel like a failure because you weren’t given the skills and tools you needed to feel like anything else. That’s why I said, you’re not a failure. You were failed.
In this week’s episode I talk about 3 ways you were failed and how you can start practicing the skills you missed out on. I walk you through a simple exercise at the end of the video. Grab a pen and paper and you can do it along with me.
Ways You Were Failed
1 – You were taught to connect your behavior and performance to your identity and value
2 – You weren’t taught to celebrate success, enjoy the moment, or what to do with your emotions
3 – You weren’t taught to separate thoughts from emotions
Practice
This exercise walks you through listening to your emotions, taking your thoughts captive, and deciding what to do next.
- Grab a pen and paper and write down every thought and emotion you are aware of when you say, “I am not a failure.”
- Mark the thoughts and the emotions differently (colors, circle/underline)
- Which thoughts are yours? Which thoughts are true?
- What choices do you need to make?
I look forward to hearing how it goes and what questions you have for me.
I'd love to connect with you!
