Controversial opinion coming…
We need to celebrate our fails not our wins!!!
Hear me out. So many of us that are high functioning have never truly learnt how to suck at something and fail. Which I believe is why we spend so much of our time hiding 🙈 or avoiding doing something hard.
Learning how to fail is WAY more important than learning how to succeed. It is the only way to grow and learn how to thrive in life.
When we embrace, normalise and even celebrate failing this builds grit, resilience and confidence we can do hard things.
Plus we then know we can fail and our nervous system learns that our whole life doesn’t fall apart. This helps us to not avoid future failure and then we can fail even faster!!
Truly exceptional people embrace this process of failing fast whilst learning from their mistakes.
From 30 years in this space I have come to realise we only truly learn from our mistakes and our fails. Not that we are broken, instead we are human and we can start again. We also learn that we can keep going and that we are life long learners.
In my new Skool called exceptional.edge we are embracing the journey and coming together to encourage each other to fail. We laugh and cry together about life, our struggles and the journey of understanding your brain, especially if you are ADHD and allow us all to celebrate being more human, not machines!
Tell me below what have you failed at recently, the most spectacular fail will be celebrated and given an award!! 🥇
Please jump over to my new Exceptional Edge community on either the Skool or Substack and now my new instagram!
All the links 🔗 are in my bio ⬆️
Please share your fails I would love to celebrate them with you! Mine are in the comments too, I have heaps to share!
Stay human,
Dr Kim ✨
