Good morning and welcome to the Increase Your Impact podcast. I'm Justin Sua, episode 2010.

Today I want to remind everyone about the sticky nature of bad results. And what I mean by

sticky nature of bad results, it's it's easier to remember the bad things.

It's easier to remember the bad moments, the mistakes, the failures, the bad moments and

relationships.

And what I mean by sticky, it's just they're, they're, they stick to your mind.

They stick to your emotions.

And because they are so sticky it could cause

you to over-emphasize them and to forget the good and to downplay the positives and then you

overestimate and you just think about how bad it was or how

horrible you were because those bad moments were so sticky so my suggestion how do you what do you do

when you have a performance and all you can think about is the bad two things two suggestions

there are many things but here are two that I would recommend. Number one,

accentuate the positive. Deliberately intentionally ask yourself what went well. What was the good?

Now, this isn't to brush the bat under the rug. This isn't to turn a blind's eye, as you know,

that is not how I like to operate. You stare it in the face, but it adds some contrast. It's not all bad. These are the good

things that happened. Obviously, it's not all good. These are the bad things or the unfortunate or

unproductive things that happen. And then the second thing is to ask yourself the question, take all the bad things or the unfortunate or unproductive things that happen.

And then the second thing is ask yourself the question, take all the bad that happened,

and then you ask, what can I learn from it?

How can this make me better?

How can this make me stronger?
