I chose this article because it expanded off of Thomas Frank's video on how to stay motivated throughout the semester. I like that the article included to create a social support network consisting of friends, teachers, counselors, etcetera.

This video is an important message of reassurance. Thomas reminds the viewer that there are going to be several successes and failures in one's lifetime. Many people overreact to failure without acknowledging that they can use it as an opportunity to become a better version of themselves. Failure is only part of the journey, but it is important to know how to get out of it. My favorite tip that Thomas provided is to develop an improved plan following failure. This reminds the reader that they are strong and smart enough to reshape their train of thought so that they can prevent failure the second time around.

How to Bounce Back from Failure - College Info Geek

I appreciated this video a lot and I have actually implemented a few of these tips into my academic career. The first tip Thomas introduces is to establish positive momentum during your first week of school. I did this by sitting up front in all of my classes and making sure I was engaged in every class. Another tip he mentions is to have a plan when and where you are going to study. For me, I like to study in the Union Station lounge in between classes, and I also have a desk in my bedroom. While I found that I have implemented many of these tips already, there is always room for improvement.

This video may be one that is overlooked but, in truth, it is very important to staying highly motivated. Once again, Thomas provides the viewer with great advice. Personally, I believe that I should implement these tips into my morning routine as well. The first tip he mentions is to never press the snooze button, which is something that I do constantly. However, the main message I got out of this video is to get out of your comfort zone. Almost nothing about getting up early in the morning is comfortable, so I should just learn to embrace it and go on about my routine.

How to Create a Morning Routine (and Stick to It Long-Term)

I chose this article because it expanded off of Thomas Frank's video on how to overcome failure. One new tip that I read was to not pick up bad habits, as this will only worsen your failure and prevent you from improving.

Have you ever heard the saying, "Once a failure, always a failure?"

Unfortunately, too many people tend to take this literally to the point where they start thinking they'll never succeed again. Such negative thoughts serve to do nothing but hold you back. Once this mindset takes over, you'll be crippled by an overwhelming fear of failure that'll prevent you from reaching your full potential. If you're to move forward and lead a fulfilling life, you've got to overcome such thoughts and replace them with positive ones.
2. There is Nothing Wrong with Feeling Bad
When you fail to achieve your goals, deep feelings of anxiety, sadness, shame, and anger take over - it's only natural. In fact, you could go as far as saying it's important to feel hurt after a failure. Rather than forcefully suppressing these feelings and emotions, use them to your advantage. Instead of feeling bad and wallowing in your own self-pity, Use these feelings as your drive to do better and to improve future performance.
3. Develop Healthy Habits to Stay Healthy
If you haven't already, start a healthy habit. Go for walks, practice breathing exercises, take a bubble bath, meet with family and friends; anything that keeps your mind clear and free from negative thoughts. Draw up a list of healthy habits or activities that you might enjoy, decide on a few that you like and make an effort to practice them on a regular basis. Who knows, one of these healthy habits might even be the secret to your success!
4. Avoid Picking Up Bad Habits
Sometimes, people turn to things like drugs or alcohol in an attempt to dull the pain that they feel. Ultimately, drug and alcohol addiction will just make things worse and do more harm than good. It's best to avoid picking up such bad habits and instead focus on learning skills that can help you heal in a healthier way.
5. Take Reasonable Responsibility for Your Failure
Pretending that something isn't true or ignoring the true reason behind why things turned out the way they did is counterproductive and will never make up for what really happened. In the same way that taking too much responsibility can make you feel restless and create unnecessary tension, not taking responsibility for your actions will stop you from learning from your mistakes. Don't make excuses for your failures. Make an effort to find out exactly why things went the way they did, accept any mistakes you may have made, and focus on learning from them.
6. Study Yourself
Many people feel disheartened after a failure, while many others take failures as an opportunity to learn about and improve themselves. Where do you fit in? What mistakes have you made? What areas are you lacking in? By digging deep and learning about yourself you're able to turn your failures into valuable life lessons and use the knowledge gained to achieve your goals.
7. Keep Looking Ahead
Don't get stuck focusing on the things that went wrong. Thinking about the same thing over and over again won't do you any good. While reflection on past failures is necessary, planning your next move and moving on is even more important.
8. Take Inspiration from Failures that Led to Success
History is filled with stories of men and women who've all failed at some point in their lives but went on to become major successes in their respective areas. The one thing these people all had in common was that they didn't let their failures stop them from experimenting and trying out new things. Learning about these people's past failures and how they overcame them can be a great source of inspiration for you to overcome your own shortcomings.
9. Learn to Accept Your Failures
Running away from failures or trying to avoid them will never teach you anything. Go beyond your comfort zone, explore new avenues, don't think about the rejection that you may face and come to terms with the fact that you too can fail. As you move ahead in life, you will come to realize that failure is simply a part of life - the sooner you start treating failures as learning opportunities, the sooner you'll reach your full potential.

Don't take failure as a sign of defeat. While it's impossible to completely avoid and prevent failure, the above steps should hopefully help you manage and mitigate the aftermath. If you're still struggling with failure and feel like nothing is helping, don't be afraid to seek professional help. No matter how overwhelmed you might feel, never forget that there are people out there dedicated to helping you overcome failure and move on with your life.
