tip number change your focus onto all that you have done.
Whether is with the certain goal that you're trying to reach or if it's in things in your life that you already have reached. Amazing goals that you've already met, amazing accomplishments that you've been so proud of .
Take your focus off of your failures or of your disappointments that are currently happening and I want you to focus on all of those wonderful things. Sit down, relax, and write it down if you have to. Because taking your focus off of the negative and on to those positive things will change around your mood and it will cause you to start being proud of yourself instead of disappointing.
Number two tip I have for you is
just relax and tell yourself that you are doing the best you can with the knowledge you have at that time.
I have used that for myself, I have even used that for others, if I have people in my life that are disappointing me in one way or the other because it's gonna happen because we're all human I always say that person is doing the best they can with the knowledge they have and I turn that around and use that on myself also.
So, if I'm reaching for a goal and I'm not quite getting there. I tell myself, “ it's okay, I'm doing the best I can with the knowledge I have ” and then I just keep going and just keep striving to that goal.
The number three tip I have for you and how to handle this appointment in yourself is
I give myself what I call a happy timeout or I give myself a break.
I exercise patience with myself because all the good things in life and they were that easy to have we would all have them, right ?
Anything good, anything worthwhile and you usually have to work for you, usually have to go after and you usually are gonna stumble your way to accomplishing it and sometimes we just need that break. We just need to timeout, we need a weekend, we need an hour, we need a day just to refocus.
To have some fun to get our mind off of the disappointments and on to the things we enjoy because if you are focused on having fun and laughing and enjoying yourself. it will do wonders for your psyche and for your mood and for your mind. It will do wonders to recharge you to go after that goal.
the number four tip I have for you is just to
Refocus on your goal and to keep going
We focus on our goal and what we want and sometimes we need to sit down and brainstorm our next step, right ?
Think about what you want to do next not the big picture but just that one little step that you want to take next focus on that and then you will find yourself knowing the right step to take.
You only fail if you quit. So, you keep going right ? too often we see the success stories of other people whether they're famous or not and we think, “ man they did that so fast.”
There's really no such thing as that it takes years of hard work, all the behind the scenes - blood, sweat, and tears that people have done all the sacrifices they have made.
All the disappointments they felt in themselves, all the failures they've had to get to where you finally see - they don't always show that, right?
We don't always hear those stories but they have them too. So, remember that as you're going after your goals.
We all have failures, we all have stumbling blocks, and a little bonus that I have found out in my own life those failures. Those failures are what is going to mold you and shape you and take you to that next level.
Just like it's usually the little things that bring it down it's also sometimes those little tweaks , those little changes that can bring you up. So, I hope this article helpful.
