Setbacks are not terrible. Maintain a positive and optimistic attitude to overcome them.

In the process of chasing dreams, it is not always smooth sailing. It is inevitable to encounter setbacks. How should we face these setbacks? Huang Yanhai, director of the student office and mental health teacher of Dongguan Business School, suggested starting from the following three aspects:

First, maintaining a positive and optimistic attitude is the prerequisite for overcoming setbacks.

When facing setbacks, some people's first reaction is to "run away". In their eyes, setbacks are painful, helpless, and a "stumbling block". No matter how hard you try, it is useless. If you can't beat it, run away. The only way is to "run away". Surrender." But some people's first reaction is to "fight". They think that overcoming setbacks is a kind of fun. They think that hardships make them grow and improve themselves in all aspects. This is a growth mindset. These two completely different ways of thinking determine your reaction to setbacks and your next steps.

Second, being good at leveraging the strength of others is a powerful tool for overcoming setbacks.

When facing difficulties and setbacks, we should not fight alone, but should learn to seek help from others. For example, if we encounter difficulties in learning, we can solve the problem by actively asking the teacher for advice, discussing with classmates, etc. When we face setbacks in life, we can solve the problem by actively asking others for help. By facing difficulties and setbacks, we can continuously improve ourselves. If you encounter a sudden and huge unfortunate event, you should take the initiative to seek professional psychological counseling, talk to family, friends, and teachers, vent your emotional pressure, and go back to war lightly.

Third, actively seeking solutions is the magic weapon to overcome setbacks.

Don’t always immerse yourself in frustration, feel sorry for yourself or give up on yourself, but take active action and re-examine your goals and plans through brainstorming, mind mapping and other methods to see what aspects need to be adjusted and improved, and find new directions and Methods, re-formulate goals and plans. In this process, if you discover your own shortcomings, you can also improve your abilities and enhance your self-confidence by learning new knowledge and skills. Instead of complaining about everything, it is better to sit down and walk.

" Life will not always be smooth sailing, nor will it always be bumpy. Only by maintaining a positive attitude and the spirit of challenge can we continue to surpass ourselves and gain happiness. " Huang Yanhai said.
