The basics
- I wanna start of by saying that nobody has all their shit together all the time
- I get invited as a key note speaker
- Give interviews
- Have created a successful group program with a 100% success rate
- And still there are days when I see that I am wearing my panties inside out 😀
- Main approach when failing: “Well, that didn’t work out lol, what can I do differently next time?”
- Failing is an indicator that you “bite of more than you could chew”
- Which means that you are hungry for the next level/ the next step
- And only when we dare to leave our comfort zone, dream bigger, dare more: We can create a life we feel excited about waking up to every morning
- So failing kindaaa means that you are on the right track and only need to make some adjustments
Tip 1: Make a cross at “shitty day”
- Mentally close the chapter, go to bed and say “well, that sucked today, aye? I make a cross at “shitty day” today.
- Be disappointed, make a big cross at “shitty day”, make peace with it and shift your perspective to “What can tomorrow bring though?”
Tip 2: Normalize failing and making mistakes
- I wrote my master thesis on vulnerability: Admitting failure and communicating your mistakes can become one of the greatest boosters for success
- So, allow yourself to make mistakes.
- When we allow ourselves to make mistakes, we can see that it’s not the end of the world when we fail.
- Mistakes are opportunities for us to learn, grow and do better
- You don’t have to be good at everything!
- Try to adopt this sweet beginners mindset
- Instead of trying to be “perfect” at new things you’re learning, focus on enjoying the activity and slowly learning how to get better.
- Adapt this more playful attitude. In the end, you’re doing it for the run, right?
Tip 3: Don’t identify with your failings
- Instead of saying I am a failure, say “I failed at this test”
- It’s a gigantic mindset shift
- Instead of guilt-tripping yourself,a simple question:
- Did you do your best?
- Cut yourself some slack!
- You can’t change the past, you can only do better in the future
Tip 4: Do you want comfort or solutions
- The next time when you massively failed and you’re telling a friend about this, make it clear what you want from them
- “Hey sunshine, I hope you’re doing fine. I just had my big presentation at work and I fucked it up big times, are you free this evening? I would really love some comfort right now. I don’t wanna talk about it, just get comforted”
Tip 5: Game on & never game over
- Try to see it as a game
- Of course, you’re gonna have to play this one level 15 times until you’ve nailed it
- It would be the lamest thing ever if it was too easy
- Take over the birds perspective and see it objectively
- as if you’re playing a game and want to unlock the next level
- Failing only means GAME ON and never GAME OVER
- Try to find new angles and new strategies
- What can you do different next time?
- Nothing ever is a dead-end
- You only need to find a new solution
- You’ve got this
