You’ve Got This! How To Regain Your Self-Esteem After a Setback

Every person on the planet has bad days and setbacks they are ill-prepared for.

Nevertheless, a setback does not have to define your future negatively. It’s what you do with yourself after the setback that determines if it takes hold over your life or not.

Understand that the most successful people do not advertise their setbacks and failures, they highlight their wins. This is true in any field and it’s obvious on social media.

However, I strongly believe that failure can prove to be an ally contrary to what we think.
