Truly, learning to deal with discouragement is one step at fulfilling life. We can't always have what we expect but we can always choose what happens next.
Taking it right from the last episode, we would be discuss the three R's of tackling Discouragements.
Review. Redefine. Remember.
🥀 REVIEW YOUR EXPECTATIONS
Taking a longer view of your expectations helps you discern two things. One, if your expectations is really realistic (or might need some amendments 😅)
Two, if your expectations needs some more time. (Most time our limit for some of our expectations are just too short.)
🥀 REVIEW YOUR MOTIVATIONS
Wait a minute, are you working hard for the rewards or for the comments? Are you working the hardest to get noticed by someone or to actually get something done?
If your motivation are based on the rewards and other external benefits, then you may always get disappointed and DISCOURAGED. Review your MOTIVATIONS.
🥀 REDEFINE YOUR RULES
We all have internal rules. Those circumstances that must be present for us to feel happy. Most times these rules are made in our subconscious mind and they may end up leading to a mental breakdown when we don't attain those circumstances. Redefine your rule. "My best is enough for me. I don't always have to be the best, I'll just do my best." I think this is a better rule.
🥀 REMEMBER YOUR WHY, REMEMBER YOUR VISION
Why did you embark on this project in the first place? Why did you choose to study this in the first place? REMEMBER your first hand motivation. Your first hand goal. What is the bigger picture. Where do you want to go with this? Remember your "reason" gives that lost strength and encouragement to rise up again and face life. Also living in your visions, I mean imagining them and living in the reality of it, eases the hurt of Discouragements.
