Coping With Disappointment and Regrets We all have these emotions. Salespeople often on a regular basis. But for most of us who arent professional salespeople, the first and foremost strategy is-- Allow the feeling of regret to be fully experienced. Stay in the moment. Covering it up by a favorite distraction depending on what that may be for you could become addictive. An obvious example is if you have a quick sip from the bottle to distract you from the pain. Dont be too quick to dismiss it. Stay with that feeling. Harbor it. Relish it even. Go ahead and make the molehill a mountain. Re-live it. Re-write it as you would have liked the situation to have been instead. Visualize the circumstances that brought the disappointment about. If you have to cry then by all means, go somewhere private and do so. Thats the first way to overcoming disappointment. What are regrets? Disappointments left to stew for too long. Admittedly thats a bit over simplistic but for now, that definition will suffice. While the emotional upheaval is in its early stage, just fully feel it. Let it get the best of you FOR NOW.. just do it..
