Early Accountability

Our topic on this episode of the Early Accountability Podcast is shifting your mindset to move past disappointment, despair, and defeat. These feelings can be common when you are starting something new, but they do not have to slow you down or keep you from reaching your goals. It is important to practice mindfulness and self-awareness throughout the process of starting something new, and this is especially important when you’re facing an obstacle along the way such as disappointment, despair, or defeat. Here are some specific thoughts about each of these obstacles and steps you can take to move past them: •Disappointment: oDisappointment comes from not meeting your expectations – Make sure that your expectations are realistic and attainable oStay present and recognize the source of your disappointment, but don’t stay stuck – Accept it, then move forward oOften, we have closed ourselves off to any result other than our expectations – Be open to the possibility that there might be something better than you h
