Failure is the worst. 

It feels terrible when you’ve worked so hard for something and you have a setback or your plans turn into a dumpster fire of disaster. But here’s the tough part: failure isn’t avoidable.

It’s going to happen. Especially if you’ve set big goals for yourself. 

Learn four steps to get your brain out of the spiral of self-doubt, judging yourself, and wanting to hide under your bed after you mess up. Then use these tools to regain your courage and confidence to take action, bounce back from failure, and keep going toward those goals.

Even when you feel like a mess.
