Embracing Negative Emotions

Experiencing negative emotions in response to failure is a natural part of life. These emotions serve a purpose, acting as important signals to help individuals avoid making the same poor choices in the future. The challenge arises not from these emotions themselves, but from the narratives and beliefs that people build around their failures. Self-defeating thought patterns can exacerbate feelings of shame and worthlessness, raising the stakes for future experiences and making it harder to cope with challenges.
