Reframing Failure: Accepting, Embracing, and Winning!

Failure feels awkward, right? It's something most of us would prefer to shove down and forget about more often than not. Press pause on your day or set a reminder to come back to this one, because it's vital for all of us; you, me, your bestie, and even your second cousin!

In reality, we should be revelling in our failure! Blanketing failure in fear is a sure-fire way to stop yourself from truly living - and do you really want that? I sure don't!

"Failure is success in progress", said the great Albert Einstein.

This week I want to give you some brilliant insights into how we can accept our failures and use them to our advantage. Below are some great tools to use in day-to-day life to positively reinforce your self-belief. 

Get Your Sh*t Together!

Wow, what an incredible message that packs a punch! 

This witty book by Sarah Knight had me enthralled from page one, jam-packed with down-to-earth guidance on sorting your life out and getting sh*t done!

Give this a whirl if you feel you could benefit from skipping self-sabotage and getting up and doing all those things you keep making excuses not to.

How to Fail

Elizabeth Day's How To Fail is your audio must-have for this week.   

This fantastic podcast is an excellent platform reminding us how failure can help us achieve our successes and a celebration of when things go wrong. 

In each podcast, a new guest delves into how they have failed and what this taught them. Listen to Simu Lui actor, author and stuntman who is willing to own every single one of his failures.

Listen in to celebrate your failures!

Action Tip

Today I'm talking to you about failure and how to overcome this fear! 

For many, fear of failure is paralysing, even though it will always be part of your journey to success. What if you can face your fears?

How? Try positive visualisation. Every day this week, picture yourself being confident and overcoming your perceived adversity. Use visualisation to become your best self!

Failure = Courage

In conclusion, failure is not a foe to be avoided but a friend to be embraced. It's a stepping stone on the path to success, an opportunity for growth, and an indicator of courage. Remember, you succeeded because you dared to try in the first place.
