Sometimes in life we make mistakes. Whether it is by lying to make something easier at the time only for it to get progressively harder, or just a msjudgement at work, it can be hard.
And making mistakes can knock our confidence, and the confidence of others in us.
Therefore it is very important that you view them in a positive light so that you can learn from them and then move on without being scarred emotionally.
Here are the three key things to tell yourself if you make a mistake:
- Next time I will be able to do better
- I can learn x, y and z from this mistake which will make me more competent in the future
- I can achieve whatever I set out to - mistakes are there to help me identify what I need to do to achieve my goals
