Learn from the mistakes and not wallow in it. Reach out to people who understand and succeed and learn from them (friends, family, peers, coworkers). ]]> 2023-01-27 15:06:33 UTC https://padlet.com/06kbragg/290ybbznde4m6525/wish/2459070616 06kbragg https://padlet.com/06kbragg/290ybbznde4m6525/wish/2459074105 During failure, rejection, etc. where I am emotionally hurt, give myself words of affirmation to ensure that I don't fall down a rabbit hole. Making sure that I can stop my thoughts from snowballing into something that leaves me even more hurt. This can be through visually representing my thoughts by writing them down or talking with someone who can help me realize that my thoughts are becoming progressively more intense ]]> 2023-01-27 15:08:39 UTC https://padlet.com/06kbragg/290ybbznde4m6525/wish/2459074105 06kbragg https://padlet.com/06kbragg/290ybbznde4m6525/wish/2459077876 Everyone is their own worst critic, it helps us grow, however, when it becomes that there is only critique and no positive reinforcements, the scale becomes unbalanced. In order for me to prevent the scale from favoring negative thoughts and attitudes, balance each negative thought with two positives. ]]> 2023-01-27 15:11:14 UTC https://padlet.com/06kbragg/290ybbznde4m6525/wish/2459077876 06kbragg https://padlet.com/06kbragg/290ybbznde4m6525/wish/2459080164 2023-01-27 15:12:52 UTC https://padlet.com/06kbragg/290ybbznde4m6525/wish/2459080164 06kbragg https://padlet.com/06kbragg/290ybbznde4m6525/wish/2459082813 Allowing myself to healthily go through the stages of grief and identifying a loss. Even though it's not a physical death, being able to understand symbolic death and allowing myself to be sad, go through denial, but also moving on and accepting. ]]> 2023-01-27 15:14:37 UTC https://padlet.com/06kbragg/290ybbznde4m6525/wish/2459082813 06kbragg https://padlet.com/06kbragg/290ybbznde4m6525/wish/2459085681 Allowing myself to feel guilty when appropriate but allowing myself to learn from the experience and working my way to move on from it while not forgetting it.
