Harder We Fall

This weekend I took a step back to consider the mood of the people whose lives matter most to me in my family, friend, and co-worker relationship sectors. There is a common theme-

Reset.

Rebranding - To change a brand name, logo, or image. Remarket, revamp, overhaul, or relaunch a company or product.

The definition above for rebranding pertains to businesses; however, personal rebranding shares many similarities.

The anticipation of being perceived as a disappointment by others, compounded by the internal disappointment we feel in ourselves, creates a doubly dynamic challenge. This self-defeating mindset has the power to crush most of us, yet few find the resilience to bounce back stronger than before.

I've made it through catastrophes and failures in my career, relationships, and self-regulation with the expectation that others saw through me. Believing that someone else was going through something worse, I silenced the negative talk, dusted myself off, and tried again.

In my career, relationships, and self-regulation, I performed a hard reset…

Personal "Rebranding" After Failure

Set a Goal

Set a goal, but keep it to yourself. It is tempting to share our goals on social media with e-friends in search of support and accountability, but this can backfire in two ways; providing a false sense of security or demoralization. When others express support for our goals, it can create a misleading sense of confidence and security. Conversely, criticism or disagreement from others can be demoralizing and hinder our progress. You don't need external validation or approval to pursue your dreams. Instead, focus on internal motivation and take action independently.

Identify and Eliminate Sources of Failure

Take inventory of your distractions, addictions, hang-ups, and toxic relationships. Then, decisively cut them out of your life to pave the way for progress and growth.

Manage Your Workload Wisely

Work hard, but avoid overwhelming yourself by taking on too much. Instead, focus on the tasks at hand and learn to complete them efficiently. You'll accomplish more in less time without burning out.

Become Euridite

Reading is the gateway to knowledge and insights from those who have already experienced what you're going through. Dedicate time each day to read, it makes tasks easier, and accelerates your progress.

Winning Out Efficiently

Shift your focus from dwelling on the past or worrying about the future to winning the day. Consistently achieving your daily goals, you lay the foundation for long-term success and reseting your life.

Reset,

Hard.
