Don’t Justify your Mistakes, Address and Learn from them

Activity: WRITE DOWN

1.) What's the last mistake that you made? 

2.) What did you think after it? 

3.) Did you spend time justifying why what you did was right? 

4.) Or did you reflect and address that you did something wrong and then find a lesson from it?

I bet most of us, including myself, waste time and energy on telling ourselves that we were right to react that way, or we are right to feel the way we feel. When in reality we played a part in it.

If we truly want to grow, healthy reflection is needed. During this time of reflection, we must shift our perspective to view the mistake from a different view. More of a non-judgmental, no "assumption making" viewpoint. Once we are able to see the mistake for what it is, we are able to correctly identify (with honesty) on what happened and where we went wrong.

Once this is viewed from that new perspective, we try to stay in that new perspective by finding something to learn from the mistake. This is the hardest part of the deal. Most people don't even want to view it from a different perspective, let alone learn something from it. But if you do, you will grow exponentially compared to others out there that don't.

If a client relapses, the first thing I ask them is "what did you learn from it?" If we make a mistake and choose to not learn from it (yes, not taking action IS a choice), then we are doomed to make the same mistake again.
