After a Slip or Setback

Use this after something has gone wrong.

This is about understanding, not punishment.

Acknowledge what happened

Something did not go the way you hoped.

You do not need to minimise it.
You do not need to dramatise it.

Just name it honestly.

What are the facts?
What are the stories you are telling yourself?

Try to keep these separate.

You might ask:

What was I feeling beforehand?
What usually comes before moments like this?
What was missing or needed?

This is information, not evidence against you.

You do not need a full plan.

One small step is enough.

That might be:

A setback does not erase progress.

Learning counts.
