A new venture has fallen flat. Instead of cursing yourself for taking the wrong approach, give yourself a break. The most ambitious goals usually involve several tries before they are reached. Reflect on what went wrong this time and what adjustments you can make to achieve success. Heaping yourself with criticism will only make it harder to make a second attempt. When you're consumed by doubt, reach out to an optimistic friend who makes you laugh. They'll remind you what a mistake it is to take yourself too seriously.
