Even if our body image is in a good place, for some of us, the insecurities still linger. They simply morph.
So it’s no longer fears over a bigger belly but concerns over the perfect prose. It’s no longer wanting smaller thighs but worrying if you’ve said the wrong thing.
Either way, you end up in the same place: growing self-doubt, diminished self-confidence.

I have a couple of desk calendar-type booklets with humorous (rather than inspiring) quotes, and if I’m feeling dejected or down I search through them and that always puts me in a better mood. I agree that taking the positives, learning from the experience and sometimes having time to regroup and think are good coping strategies. I also try to think of things from a different perspective or angle and sometime you come up with a different approach that might be more helpful.
@ Olga, these are all great strategies. Thank you for sharing them!!
Great contribution to Management Consulting work
Every end is an opening to a new beginning; failures are the sharpening tools for the next day challenges.
Similar to Jen Louden advice to focus on what you’ve learned I tend to ask managers whom I coach to engage in a role play in which they are the consultant that writes a report about a business failure and includes recommendations for the future (see http://www.dr-jo-consulting.com/Leadership-And-Management.html).
Thanks for your interesting article!
