2. How to Learn from Your
Mistakes 2
At LifeSkills Coaching Consultants we are interested in seeing you become the
best you can be at whatever you set yourself to do. In the previous issue, we
talked about three elements that are instrumental in helping you learn from
mistakes. The first element was admitting that you are wrong. The second one
was finding out the cause of the mistake and lastly realizing the problem in your
thinking. This second issue continues discussing some other points you need to
be wary of. In the end, we will also enumerate how LifeSkills Coaching
Consultants can help you learn from your mistakes and become a better person.
3. Be real in Judging Yourself
It is vital to always have an objective view when evaluating yourself. Review the
decision you made while putting consideration to the information that you had
at that particular moment. Carefully look at your strengths and weaknesses. You
should also be honest about whether you could have avoided the mistakes that
you made. Being objective and honest about yourself will help you in seeing
what you ought to have done in the first place. You should however remember
that you do not need to make a public confession of your mistakes to learn from
them. You should also remember that being objective doesnt mean labelling
yourself as a failure. Being open about your mistakes is however key as it puts
you in a situation where you are likely to correct yourself in future.
4. Study and Talk to Experts
Conduct studies to find out how people have dealt with situations like yours. It is
difficult to find exact answers but you can always be sure to find options that can
you brainstorm and come up with ideas pertaining to your scenario. Studying can
even involve talking to others about the challenges that you are going through. The
others in this case can be LifeSkills Coaching Consultants, because we have highly
experienced Life Coaches. The Life Coach can help you review the mistake which will
act as a valuable insight in your path to becoming the best version of you. You
should however be wary of people who issue a one-size-fits-all which will not help
you. A professional coach listens to you express yourself on what has worked and
what hasnt worked and allows you to derive the necessary learnings from the self
understanding that comes form your own review of the situation.
5. Application
After studying or engaging with an expert, such as coaches from LifeSkills
Coaching Consultants, it is now time to put to practice what you have learned.
You should be ready to try the newer approaches while implementing the
recommendations given thus far. Fix one thing as you continue to make
adjustments in other areas. Have a look at the results. Realize what happens
when you make a mistake and when you take the right actions. Being successful
gives you the motivation to be objective with your future plans. Remember that
you will never stop mistakes. The most important part is that mistakes will no
longer stop you. You will always be turning your mistakes into great life lessons.
