How I Handle Failure


Posted By on Dec 14, 2011

Have you ever felt frustrated with the results you are trying to get in your life?
Have you ever felt like giving up?
Have you ever felt like you aren’t good enough?

If so, keep reading…

I know I have had my fair share of those experiences, however I know how to pick myself up and keep moving forward. Watch this video to see how I handle failure. Also check out how I empowered my daughter as well when she felt like giving up.

I like sharing things that I have felt insecure about because it reminds us that we all experience this from time to time and to remember it is not a permanent state.

I remember feeling like a failure in blogging when I stopped making videos back in 2010 & I hardly posted anything. However, I picked myself up and started back at it. Even cooler, now I am serving people whom I would have never bumped into in my local community thanks for the internet.

I remember feeling like a failure when it came to broken romantic relationships, but I have learned how to keep loving anyway. I am thankful I keep an open heart and see the beauty in the experiences of love itself.

I remember feeling like a failure when I was hardly eating any raw food and eating mostly junk, but I just start again with my green smoothies for breakfast.

When I feel like I am just not getting it, I ask myself, ” Have I done this a thousand times?” If not, I give myself a break and keep on going! 😉

I’d love to hear in the comments below what you kept practicing at and are glad you didn’t give up!

I’m chillin’ at home with my kiddos this week who are home from school during the holiday. Mehgan is now 4 weeks into her sewing classes and has been sewing all day. Alex is hanging out with his cousins from out of town.

I know it’s Thanksgiving week, but we are keeping the meal low key. No more crazy culinary nightmares like we once had. Just ask me about the time I had butternut squash soup on the ceiling and the turkey in the bathtub. NO JOKE.

However, one ritual we do keep is to write out a rampage of gratitude and appreciation, even for the tiniest things. I personally do this several times a week. Sometimes I go for days on end pouring with gratitude.

When I stop this practice I find I can get off track a bit….like you see in the video when I had an emotional moment of LACK and I became jealous of someone else. Yes… lil ol’ me was having a moment like we all do. It’s just a matter of how quickly we stay there and how we shift to allow it to serve us.

I love sharing the realness of life and how we can use everything as fuel to transform our lives.

Let me know your insights in the comments below!

Love ya and have a fantastic holiday.

I am in one spunky mood today. You can probably tell when you watch my video below. I am still feeling inspired to move through my fears and I am taking daily strides & feeling more and more empowered.

Are you hiding out in your comfort zone?

I know that place all too well and it has never served me! I posted this quote today and in my video because it just hit me to my core.

‎”The thing that scares you most is really what’s next for your souls evolution.”- Steven Pressfield

Does that resonate with you? Are you going to step up your game? Are you ready to see what’s next for your soul to evolve and shine?

Then bring it!

Click on the video below to see what I did to conquer my fear today!

BTW, I’d love to hear what you have been avoiding and I want you to take one step towards conquering that fear. Please share it in the comments below.

Always,

I tried something new and played around with the background of this video along with my first attempt at making an intro for this video. My kids picked the music, and their faces lit up when they saw their very own pictures on the video. My heart melted. Every time I see this intro I can see their faces lighting up all over again. I just love being a mom!
