How to get over Life's Disappointment... . .. . . . .. -Accept the setback. Know that setbacks happen to everyone. And realize that you may never understand what happened. -Face your fears. It's normal to feel insecure, but don't cower and avoid uncertainty. -Be patient. Reflect and think about what you plan to do -- but don't rush, it will only aggravate the process. -Go beyond your comfort zone. Take risks. Go after that job you think you can't do, doing so will build self-esteem and resilience. -Find your hero. Think about people who have survived adversity like Christopher Reeve and Oprah. Use them as your role models. -Know what you want. If you have goals, it's easier to make plans and move forward. -Be a problem-solver. Don't be the victim; instead, learn to behave proactively. -One step at a time. To move forward, the enormity of the task (such as finding a new job after a lay-off) may seem insurmountable. Focus on each step you must take, not the entire undertaking. -Seek support. Talk to friends, family or a therapist.-Be kind to yourself. Disappointments are a source of stress, so exercise, eat right and get rest.
Remember, we all stumble, every one of us. That's why it's a comfort to go hand in hand. ~Emily Kimbrough...
