How to
Bounce Back From Set Backs
Setbacks are inevitable but the trick is to know how to recover from them quickly. When you have a setback you get a rush of thoughts and emotions, you try everything to stop them but they keep flooding in. How do you get back into the good space again?
5 Steps to Recover From Setbacks
Here is a simple 5 step process that enables you to simply and easily recover from any set back.
1.
Give yourself some time to sit in and experience your feelings. We are socially conditioned to block out and numb our emotions, to pretend not to feel them so we don’t give ourselves time to feel our disappointment, upset or anger. So take some time out and really allow yourself feel difficult emotions. Don’t try to block it or stop it, just feel it.
2.
Remember that all setbacks are there to help you learn and grow. So as the emotions start to ease off, start to ask yourself some questions that will empower you… what could I do differently next time? How can I change this? What

do I need to learn from this? How can I use this to grow past this problem? Everything that happens has its root cause somewhere in the past. It might be a thought, a word or an action. Ask the right questions and you can move away from being “problem focused” to feeling OK regardless of whatever you are experiencing.
3.
Develop a sense of trust that all is well. Nothing is ever lost – it just gets moved around. So you never really lose anything. It will come back to you. You WILL recover. Don’t think about things in terms of “mistakes”. Imagine that nothing is a mistake, that everything is unfolding perfectly. Ask yourself “what if this was the best thing that ever happened to me? What would a likely outcome have to be for that to be true?” Even if that doesn’t
happen, just thinking it will make you feel better in a positive way.
4.
Find the hidden opportunity. Napoleon Hill says that opportunity usually comes disguised as a setback. So dig a bit deeper and find the hidden opportunity. If you can do this you will be one of the rare few who are able to – and those rare few end up being the successful ones.
5.
Consider doing some personal development work to improve your emotional resilience. Just like exercising to improve your body, you can improve your emotional and mental strength too with coaching, which is specifically designed to move people forward in all ways.
