When something goes wrong, do you tend to recover quickly or fall apart? Some might find it extremely difficult to cope with the barriers. Following are some strategies to help you handle a personal setback and get back on track to achieve your goal.
●Understand it's normal. Fewer than 20 percent of people succeed in reaching their goal on the first attempt. In other words it's not whether a challenge will happen, but it's when. .
●Don't deny it. Sometimes it can be difficult to identify a setback. The problem can be staring you right in the face, but you may deny there's any cause for alarm. This inability to acknowledge the problem doesn't mean you're stupid. It's just that denial can cloud your awareness of the issue. It's important to be open to the honest feedback.
● Stop and consider carefully what went wrong. The most common causes of a setback are personal worries, overconfidence, and poor coping skills. Take a look at any factor that may have contributed to the setback: where you were, who you were with, what you were thinking and feeling.
●Learn from it. Learn from your analysis of the setback, and adjust your plan to try to prevent similar things from happening next time. Each time you adapt your plan and put it into action again, you actually improve your chances of eventual success. .
Remind yourself that your setback is a slip instead of a fall. After adjusting, you can still make progress toward success again.
A. Don't take it seriously.
B. Analyze what happened.
C. Persist in pursuing your goals regardless of challenges.
D. Despite concerns, you may still refuse to acknowledge it.

F. Thus, the key lies in managing setbacks effectively when they arise.
G. This is because you learn from each misstep to make your plan more effective.
