Do you fell difficult to accept yourself after making a mistake? Do you fell trouble to learn from your mistakes so that you stay mired in the same hole? Sometimes, it is difficult to accept a mistake we have done, especially if the environment around us is filled with perfectionists who perceive "perfection" is same to "make no mistake at all". Making a mistake is also different from failing to do something. Failure is a conscious effort that is unsuccessful, while mistakes can be made unconsciously. In this article, the author will share some techniques that you can use to learn from your mistakes 1. Fix your mistakes. You can learn from mistakes, but only if you want to fix them. For example, if when you cook and you use the wrong foodstuff, ask your mother or an expert on the right ingredients so you can improve the information.
Record your mistakes and successes. It helps to write down when, where, and how you made mistakes in your life. This will create awareness of patterns that may be hard to see when you're very busy. Bring a little notebook with you and write down when you make a mistake. When you have free time, pay attention to the entries you have entered, and think about what you can do differently.
Target that you become "better" and not "be good". "So good" targets are usually unrealistic on what you really can do, especially if you're just starting to do something. If you make the target "so good", you make the standard too high and tell yourself that you have to succeed to be a good person. On the other hand, the "better" target focuses on improvement. With a target like that, you do not need to achieve too high just to feel that you've done something that works. You will target improvements and not perfection.
Practice deliberately and consciously. Time is not the only composition of your success to learn from mistakes. You will also get better results if you know what your specific goals are. This is why identifying errors and their reasons are important. If you are aware of a mistake and why it is wrong, you will more easily practice and improve your competence.
Ask for help from others. There's no need to be embarrassed to ask someone for help to do something you have not mastered. Get rid of your ego and learn from others. It's a good self-improvement, especially if you're stuck at a point and do not know how to fix something.
Believe in your abilities. Research shows that people who believe they can learn from mistakes will tend to be more committed to learning from mistakes. If you know that you can learn from mistakes, you will be more inclined to do so
