Do I handle failure? | LOH #200 week contest
Hello ladies, today we will talk about failure, a very interesting topic since each person has their own way of seeing and handling it.
How do you handle failure, and what do you learn from it?
In the past I did not tolerate failure, before I used to be much more of a perfectionist than now so it was quite frustrating when something did not go the way I wanted. Before I used to get angry and throw in the towel immediately.
However, I gradually made progressive changes, little by little I started to stop throwing in the towel but my perfectionist behavior stressed me out more because when I failed, the next day I started to practice like crazy without rest until I mastered what I could not before, and it really was not a very healthy thing, it is true that I achieved several things but the pressure that I put on myself was slowly eating me up inside because I was no longer interested in the activities or enjoyed them, I just wanted to master them and then move on to the next one, over the years I completely lost interest in almost everything.
These last two years I have been trying to rescue my true essence and find what I really like, without frustration or stress, I am more tolerant and more willing to continue trying things calmly, currently if I fail at something, the next thing I do is investigate, inform myself more, understand, respect and then think about myself, give myself some compliments for trying and encourage myself in a healthy way that the next times will be better and that many things are achieved with dedication and good discipline.
Saludos ladies, hoy hablaremos del fracaso, un tema bastante interesante ya que cada persona tiene su forma de verlo y manejarlo.
¿Cómo manejas el fracaso y qué has aprendido sobre ello?
En el pasado yo no toleraba el fracaso, antes solía ser mucho más perfeccionista que ahora por lo que era bastante frustrante cuando algo no salía como yo quería. Antes solía enojarme y arrojar la toalla inmediatamente.
Sin embargo, fui haciendo cambios progresivos poco a poco empecé por dejar de tirar la toalla pero mi comportamiento de perfeccionista me estresaba más porque cuando de fracasaba, al día siguiente empezaba a practicar como una loca sin descanso hasta dominar lo que antes no podía, y realmente no era algo muy sano, es cierto que logré varias cosas pero la presión que yo misma puse en mi fue lentamente comiendome por dentro porque ya no me interesaban las actividades ni las disfrutaba, solo quería dominarlas y luego moverme a la siguiente, con los años perdí el interés por completo en casi todo.
Estos últimos dos años he estado tratando de rescatar mi verdadera esencia y encontrar lo que realmente me gusta, sin frustración ni estrés, soy más tolerante y más dispuesta a seguir intentando con calma las cosas, en la actualidad si fracaso en algo, lo siguiente que hago es investigar, informarme más, entender, respetar y luego pensar en mi, darme algún cumplido por intentarlo y alentarme sanamente en que las siguientes ocasiones serán mejor y que muchas cosas se logran con dedicación y buena disciplina.
It's nice to know how you are dealing with your situation in a mature and positive way instead of pushing yourself hard. Thanks for sharing such personal aspects of your life, I appreciate it a lot.
Pushing ourselves isn't always good! Sometimes we need to calm down a little bit and enjoy life more
