You’ve faced a major setback. How can you bounce back and come out stronger?

Zerlege deine Situation in ihre Einzelteile, analysiere jeden Aspekt und bringe ans Licht, was bislang verborgen war. Mit dieser Vorgehensweise wirst du eine neue Perspektive gewinnen und die Herausforderung mit frischem Mut und Selbstvertrauen angehen k?nnen. Ich nutze hier einfache Fragen: Wo war das Epizentrum des Chaos? Was hat den Dominoeffekt ausgel?st und alles ins Wanken gebracht? Wer waren die Hauptakteure? Was hat das Ganze angerichtet und was sind die Auswirkungen auf dein Leben? Dann Erkenne deine Emotionen nun an und versuche sie nicht zu manipulieren oder zu unterdrücken. Sie sind gut so wie sie sind, und sollten dir als Unterstützung dienen.

Reflecting constructively, not critically: Learning from mistakes without blaming yourself or others. Reconnecting to your “why”: Remembering your purpose and passion for your work and life. Reworking ineffective assumptions: Updating your beliefs and perspectives based on new evidence and feedback. Taking care of your physical, mental, and emotional health and well-being. Setting and achieving small, realistic, and controllable goals.Being kind, understanding, and respectful to yourself and others who face challenges. With earnest self-compassionate learning, setbacks contain seeds of future thriving, upgrading mindsets to bounce back stronger. A growth mindset leverages failures judiciously as opportunities, building resilience.

It will be productive if we can can consider a setback as a set up for a come back. Some times a trivial shift in mindset can trigger a big change in our approach.

Accept the situation and acknowledge your emotions. It's okay to feel disappointed, frustrated, or even upset. Develop self-awareness to understand your emotions and reactions. An emotional support system/community can provide valuable perspectives & encouragement share your experiences with trusted friends, family, or colleagues. Connect with peers who may be facing similar challenges & understand that setbacks are a natural part of life. Stay resilient and committed to your goals.

We are humans and will be doing the first thing in this article, we won't acknowledge our emotions because we follow our way of thinking; rationalism-materialism. So, do not try to find a reason, purpose, or lesson at the moment that this is happening, time may give you that wisdom. It is ok to feel any feeling but don't get stuck or think that these things only happen to you. I know that sounds simple but requires practice, time, and self-knowledge to master yourself. Life is not easy or fair but we need to be grateful for having a new day to see the sunset shining.

"Observe, no suggestions". Step back and describe the situation without judging it. Try to be as objective as possible. To achieve this, avoid terms that convey emotions or superlatives.

In my experience, this step is the most critical and affects the most change. A CAPA or some form of root cause analysis will prevent setbacks like this from happening again.

Sometimes the most important and relevant is to identify those areas that are under your control or outside factors. If you have to rectify skills or behaviors the best way is to get someone who can guide you through the process, sometimes we don't want to leave the pattern easily. If the factors are external think about if the idea was ahead of time, the market was not ready, etc. Do this damage assessment with a clear mind and objectiveness.

Long story short, one day while we were riding our bikes in the surroundings of a Volcano we got lost. Even though it was early in the morning the situation was bad if we couldn’t find the way out of that mountain. We took the following steps: 1-Evaluate the situation 2-Evaluate possible solutions 3-Set goals and times 4- Re-evaluate if the goals have not been achieved and take a second solution (the worse scenario) We got lost at 10:30 am and we returned to the car with plan A at 6 pm. Even in this type of situation, you should have goals and planning. Also, reading the results again your plan and goals can make you decide if you need to pivot to another direction.

Bei der Zielsetzung geht's nicht nur ums SMART-Prinzip, sondern um eine tiefe Verbindung zu unseren Werten und Visionen. Meine Strategie: Langfristige Ziele, die wirklich z?hlen. Ich strebe ein gelassenes, abwechslungsreiches Leben an, m?chte dankbar sein, Spa? haben, und das am liebsten am Wasser mit einem Espresso in der Hand. Diese Ziele spiegeln meine Werte Gelassenheit, Freiheit und Verbundenheit wieder. Wichtig ist, dass jedes Ziel, das ich mir setze, auf meine Vision einzahlt – sei es heute, in einem Jahr oder in einem Jahrzehnt. So bleibt meine Zielsetzung immer sinnvoll und erfüllend. Lasst uns Ziele setzen, die langfristig Bedeutung haben und unsere Herzen erfüllen. Klingt simple, ist es auch.

Take the time to imagine, what could be done in a better or maybe only in another way. Have a close look at your expectations and adjust them accordingly.
