What Do You Do When You’re Down to Feel Better? – Vol. 516, Sept. 26, 2019
This was a question that was asked by a Quoran on Quora back in June. I thought it was a great question. This is how I answered it:
I am completing my master’s program in medical sociology. So, I have to write a master’s thesis on a research project. One piece of this is called the ‘literature review.’
I spent 3 full days researching and writing the literature review than had a tutor review it. I knew that I really hadn’t a clue what I was doing even with taking advantage of all the materials given to help with the process.
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 next? I took a breath, sat at my computer, rewrote it and sent the first two paragraphs to a tutor who with whom I had on online chat. I rewrote it again, still having missed the point and 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 Grammarly, made the 60 corrections it suggested and then uploaded it for grading.
I received a perfect grade to my astonishment for all that effort.
So, in short:
Allow yourself to be upset for a few minutes 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 our hurting someone, failing at something or anything in life where one could be down on one’s self.
