Embracing Failure: Episode #64
Embracing failure and even reframing failure is important and healing. A definition of failure we often share here for FAIL is an acronym: Frequent Attempts In Learning. What can you learn from a supposed FAILURE?
What can lead to Fear of Failure?

Caring about what people think too much.

Trauma and other childhood experiences, especially experiencing a lot of criticism as a child. 

Perfectionism: impossible standards.


Healing  Fear of Failure:

Ask what if? What if I succeed? What if I fail? 

Listen to last week’s episode: embrace your imperfections! Challenge perfectionism.

Practice self-compassion.

Break up big goals into small steps and celebrate the small wins.


Scripture to Help Heal from Fear of Failure:
2 Corinthians 12:9-10 NIV and MSG
Zephaniah 3:17
Joshua 1: 6-9
Simple Steps:

Practice Recognizing and Accepting Your Feelings. Simply check in with yourself a few times a day and ask yourself what you are feeling. 



Talk to Yourself as You Would a Friend: When you’re feeling down or have made a mistake, imagine what you’d say to a friend in the same situation. This can help replace self-criticism with support.


Our Prayer: “God, because of You, I can embrace and draw near to my shortcomings, failures, and challenging parts. I am free to look at the hard things said and done to me. The challenges I face. The wrong accusations. And, when I do embrace, rather than avoid those parts, and let You shine Your light on them, I am strengthened to serve You well! Amen!”
