Hey everyone and welcome to the official JUNGLE FITNESS Orange County Personal Trainer Blog!  Today is Motivational Monday! We will discuss today on how to never gives up and continues to strive to conquer their goals, and how you can too!

Here are 10 ways, Jungle Fitness approves that will help you utilize your failures to succeed. When we fall down… we can get up.

1. Use failure to connect with people

Failure is something that unites us all. Don’t be afraid to make your mistakes and failures public. We all make mistakes.

You’d be surprised as to how much better you can connect with clients, readers, friends, and even the very successful. Portraying an image of being perfect is what puts people off.

2. Failure, then success makes for a good story

The media is always interested in rags to riches, underdog, and redemption stories. Again, share your story and the lessons you learned in pitches you may give to reporters and writers. This isn’t for everyone, but for bloggers, entrepreneurs, musicians, artists, and writers, this can set you apart.

3. Learn

This is probably the simplest and most common item on the list. If you don’t fail you aren’t learning and you aren’t even living.

Failures can teach you:

- About yourself, including strengths and weaknesses

- About others

- What you like and don’t like

- Lessons that can’t be taught in any school

4. Teach others

Write a book, blog, become a mentor, or actually become a teacher. Sure, people have to make mistakes on their own, but they can learn a lot from yours as well.

Not accepting your failures is a bad habit.

5. Reevaluate why you failed

Lack of focus, too many priorities, not enough passion; there’s plenty of reasons why you could of failed.

Take a few moments, look over your plan, and ask yourself:

- Did I not give myself enough time?

- Did I let others stop me?

- Did I let my fears stop me?

Don’t let other people tell you what to do.  You always know what’s best for you.  So always look at the big picture, step back and think.

6. Readjust your plan

People always say “never give up.” But how do you not give up when things aren’t working right? Simple, you readjust your plan.

The main goal or end result you desire to achieve shouldn’t change, but your approach should if it’s not working.

Here are some aspects of your plan you can readjust:

- Time frames – You might want to give yourself more time. Or if you put your goal so far down the road, say 5 years, that you aren’t taking daily steps to get there, then give yourself less time.  Or if you want to do it in less time, you have to set your priorities straight.

- Amounts – Do you really need to make a billion dollars?  Settle for how you want to live.  If you want to live large, then aim large, and vise versa.

- Steps – Don’t forget the baby steps. They’re often more important than the major ones.  It’s great to take the chance to quantum leap, but beware of the consequences in between, and be prepared for anything that may happen.

7. Take a break

Sometimes that is all you need.  Take the time to brainstorm and re-motivate yourself, then jump back in.

We all need a vacation once in a while.  Even we at Jungle Fitness take regular vacations to relax the mind, body, and spirit; such as going to Big Bear, Las Vegas, or even just taking some time off from work, any place in the world that YOU find relaxing, YOU should go to.

8. Change the word

Remove “failure” from your vocabulary and replace it with something else like “stepping stone” or “lesson.”  It will make you stronger in the end.

9. Consider it a step

If you believe that everything happens for a reason, then “failure” doesn’t exist. It’s really a step towards success.

10. Make failure not an option

Have you ever considered putting it ALL on the line so that it becomes such a desperate situation that you deny failure as an option?

Once you begin to understand that failure isn’t that bad, then you begin to take more risks and ultimately you will achieve your goals.

Finally!

I hope these tips will help you learn from your mistakes and understand that failures will happen, but through your failures, you will learn from them.
