Ever had a decluttering fail?
Maybe you were sure you'd get your closet decluttered this time. You carved out a weekend. You were ready to do the work.
And then you got overwhelmed or something came up or you hit the messy middle...
... and your best intentions were squashed.
It feels like failure.
Failure happens, and you can recover from this setback.
In fact, I believe you should seek out failure (what??) Yep. I want you to look for chances to put yourself in situations where you might failure.
If you know how to recover from failure the way I'll show you in this video, you won't have to be afraid of it any more.
Watch the Video Now:
In the video, we discuss the 4 steps to this process:
- Realize it's going to happen. It's not a question of "if," it's a question of "when."
- Normalize and neutralize. What are the facts? Separate them out from the story you have about the failure.
- Remember that your failure doesn't mean anything about YOU. It's separate from you.
- Know that successful people aren't without failure; they are successful BECAUSE they're willing to fail, not in spite of it.
How do YOU recover from big decluttering setbacks? Let us know in the comments.
Great presentation. Thank you. I needed to hear this today.
Thanks for the encouragement
Struggling to start decluttering
Stalling to do my closet
That’s a good thought! I never really thought of it that way!
I was a 98% er in school.
Learning came easy.
My sister worked hard and got 60%.
Our Mum said to me, ‘We are proud of you and what you accomplish But! Sister really deserved more credit because she worked hard and ‘earned’ every one of those 60 points! 😊
That has always stuck with me….in a good way… because it is true!!
It’s done her well in adult life…because she never ‘gives up’! She just keeps plugging away!!
She’s done well in life….and lots of what she has accomplished is because she ‘keeps on keepin’ on’!!!
Sarah Mueller!!! You just made My Day!! 😅 God Bless You!!
Thank you!!
It’s not a failure, because you started the process.
yes I need this
I was feeling like a failure trying to finish downsizing as I move. You reassured me that I can continue!
Same here Linda, I feel like a hoarder the way my home look since I began looking to down size.
Love the part about schools. Kids should celebrate a failure so they can learn.
Really good topic, and right on time for me . . . . I felt like you were sitting in a white bathtub with baby blue tile wall behind you. Which is beside the point, but – hard to get past that impression.
