How to Recover from an Accidental Screw Up
1.
Although it’s natural to feel stupid or bad, don’t stay in the pit of self
hatred and despair. It doesn’t mean you’re evil, or that nobody should like
you. It just means you are human, and this time you got it wrong.
2. Try
and gain perspective by looking for exceptions – and remembering those times
when you felt proud of yourself. The picture’s not all black – we have good as
well as bad days – and other people screw up, and get it wrong, as well.
3. Accept
responsibility for what you said or did – but that doesn’t mean you have to
also feel ashamed. Often, saying we are sorry or admitting we were wrong will
earn respect from others – so they’re happy to move on.
4.
Related to this, communicate as fully as you can with those affected, and try
to do your part to put things right where they’ve gone wrong. Being part of the
solution will change how others see you. So don’t just withdraw, be as helpful
as you can
5. Also,
no matter how bad the consequences of your actions, the chances are that things
will get better over time. Even if things fall apart, and are awful for a
while, you can still start again – it doesn’t mean this is the end.
6. Hold
your head high again and don’t keep thinking of what happened. You have goals
to work towards, and a great future to create.
