What NOT to do when trying to recover from setbacks


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?


What NOT to do when trying to recover from setbacks


DON’T blame others. It might make you feel a little 3


better in the short term but long term it’s damaging to relationships and doesn’t solve the problem


DON’T blame yourself. It will just make you feel bad and damage your self esteem.


DON’T try to numb out. You know what I’m talking about; eating chocolate, having a drink because “you’ve had an awful day”, watching TV or surfing the Internet. It distracts you but doesn’t solve the problem.


The dangers to avoid


1. Beware of positive thinking preventing you from taking action. If you are so convinced that everything will turn out perfectly, you might be tempted to think that that you don’t need to do anything and take no action. Failing to take action is a fast track to failure that no amount of positive thinking can overcome.


2.


Don’t use positive thinking to mask problems that need attention. Imagine a car is low on fuel and the fuel light comes on. Putting a smiley sticker over the light, doesn’t fill the tank with petrol. Whether your “light” is a negative emotion that needs to be released, a limiting belief that needs to be eliminated or some action that needs to be taken, positive thinking isn’t the answer to that.


3. Don’t try to use positive


thinking to release emotions from past traumas and events. Negative thinking nearly always stems from past emotional pain, which hangs around in your thoughts and mind. This is called unresolved negative emotion. You can tell if you have any with this simple test. Do you have a memory from the past, which as you think about it NOW triggers a painful emotion? If you do, then you have unresolved emotion that needs to be released.
