Emotional Strength Hat 8
What to Do When You Fail
You can fail in many ways, like failing a test, not getting a job, or being sad because you miss home.
How to deal with:
Think of failures as chances to learn, not as permanent marks on your record.
To find out how you can improve, ask professors or managers for their thoughts.
Get help from friends, counselors, or leaders who can help you see things in a different light.
You won't want to get too tired to try again, so give yourself a break.
You feel like you have to pick between "saving for family back home" and "living fully abroad"
A lot of students are split between sending money home and having fun while they're away, especially if their family doesn't have much money.
How to deal with:
Plan your spending each month so you can save money and still have fun.
Find free or cheap things to do in your area to have fun without spending a lot of money.
Tell your family the truth about your money problems so they know what to expect.
The sweet and sour mix of pride and guilt
You should feel both happy and guilty when family or friends give up things to help you pay for school or living costs while you're abroad.
How to take care of:
Don't let your shame stop you from taking advantage of your chances.
Your family will feel like they're a part of your success if you share pictures, updates, and important times with them.
Just remember that your family is on the same path as you as you gain success.
Habits of daily emotion
If you want to shift your focus from worry to progress, write in a notebook for thankfulness.
Stress can happen when you spend too much time with other people and not enough time by yourself.
To clear your mind and stay centered, use apps for mindfulness or meditation.
