7 strategies on bouncing back from failure
Failures can manifest in various forms - such as failing a test, your own business going bankrupt, not getting that promotion you wanted, or dealing with the challenges of a breakup.
Perceptions of failure can differ from person to person. While a comment from a individual could devastate one person, causing them to feel embarrassed. Another individual may simply brush it off and rectify the situation.
For some people, losing a job may seem like the their world has ended. While for others, it is merely a minor setback, a new door will open to a different opportunity or the possibility of owning their own business they have always dreamed of.
Each person's perception of "failure" varies as nobody thinks the same and each individual perception of reality will be different.

Why does it affect us so deeply?
Rarely does anyone intentionally strive to failure. While we may make mistakes, these are never deliberate just so we can fail over and over.
To bounce back is to recognise failure as an opportunity for growth, rather than a reflection of your worth. The idea is to approach failure with objectivity, absorb the necessary lessons, and strive for even greater success.
Understanding your reaction to setbacks is crucial for bouncing back effectively. Generally, people fall into two categories when dealing with failure: approachers and avoiders.
Failure can be disheartening because we tend to see it in a negative light. However, surrendering to defeat is not the way to go.
Maintaining resilience involves equipping yourself with effective coping mechanisms.
