Celebrating Failure

A time that I failed this semester was when I didn’t stick to my goal of going to the gym consistently. I had promised that I was going go but ended up going for maybe two weeks. I then injured my pinky and now I can’t go. So, I failed because I didn’t make it to gym consistently. I learned that I need to set a schedule, as if I say I will go when I’m free it won’t happen. I also learned that I need to take advantage of the ability I have to use my body as well as the time as one day I may not have these luxuries.  

            I think that failure is hard but if you do what you need to then you will not have to worry about failing. I handled this failure by setting a schedule for after my pinky heals that I can start going to the gym consistently. Emotionally I was fine as I just believed that I was tired. But behavior I would always say I will go tomorrow and never go but with a schedule I might be more likely to follow it. This class has made me a little less worried about failure and more likely to take risk, as many risks are not as big as one may think.
