Facing disappointments can be daunting but how we deal with them determines the outcomes. Give yourself time to reflect. Allow yourself time to make sense of what went wrong, grieve your loss and think about why the disappointment happened. Adjust your expectations and re-evaluate the situation.
Don't let your disappointment linger for too long. Timely actions are important, as delaying could affect your physical health.
Create a positive mantra to counter the painful thoughts. Create physical distance from the situation. Do your own work on yourself and practice mindfulness. Be gentle with yourself and know that there are ups and downs as we go through life, and if you are down that means the only other way is up. Allow the negative emotions to flow and engage in self-care
