How Can You Bring Yourself Back Up When You Are Feeling Down? – Vol. 506, July 18, 2019
This was a question that was asked on Quora, a platform for those around the world to ask questions and for others to answer. The timing of this question coming in yesterday, couldn’t have been better.
I had to write what is known in the area of research as a literary review. I had not a clue in how to go about doing so even after reading a book on how to do it, watching the various videos the university has to teach how to do them and reading anything else that may help.
I spent 3 full days researching and writing and then had a tutor review it, knowing that I didn’t have a clue in what I was doing even with all the materials I had to help.
When I got the tutor’s review back I was devastated! He wrote it in the kindest way possible, but I hadn’t gotten the manner in which to write the thing – though my research was on point and my conclusion was fine.
Talk about frustration!
So, what did I do? I took a breath, sat at my computer, rewrote it and sent the first two paragraphs t a tutor who I could chat with online. Based on her feedback, I rewrote the paragraphs, still having missed the point and so I went online again with another tutor who explicitly explained what I needed to do and where to place the information.
I rewrote the whole paper again, sent it into Grammerly (an app that corrects grammar which I love) and made the 60 corrections necessary. At that point, I uploaded the assignment for grading.
I received a perfect grade to my great astonishment for all that effort. This is because I still wasn’t sure if I had done what was necessary on this assignment. I gave it my best shot and that was all I could do.
So, in short:
Allow yourself to be upset for a few minutes and then fully apply yourself to figuring out how to resolve the problem, with humility asking for help as often as necessary to do a great job on said project.
Those of us who care about those things we endeavor to do can be very hard on ourselves. However, it is best to realize that we all have areas in life that are challenges and to be humble and ask for help.
Getting down on ourselves is only useful to the degree that it forces us to take productive action toward a respectable solution. This includes apologizing for hurting someone, failing at something or anything in life where one could be down on one’s self.
