My Phylosophical Ways in Handling Failures

First I would like to congratulate all those new RN's that passed the Nurse Liscensure Exam here in the Philippines. I wish you all the best and may you all have a wonderful career. Let me acknowledge few of the people I know who made it. To my office mates, Nina Egualada, KB Malabed, Tara Ocampo, Paul Baes, and Eva Laiusin. To allnurses.com chat friends, Alex, Mirna, Lyla, Mike and to all my subscribers who made it as well. Again, congratulations everyone!

Today, I would like to talk about some of the things I learned in handling stress specially when somethings just didn't go your way. Life would always present us with evil. Everywhere you go, no matter where you hide. It's just gonna be there and there is no exception whether you are rich or not. And remember, it's not yet the end of the world.

“Failure is another step forward. Failure is paying your dues.
If you fail then you needed to fail.”

-Vijay Eswaran

Stress is inevitable. Life is filled with stress such as failures. I must say, try to be more philosophical. Philosophical, in the sense that you must find ways that will keep you happy, smiling, calm and relax.

Mentally, I believe that you have to be more positive. Hope for the best as much as you can. When something you might think is wrong or not just working then let it be. Don't worry about it. Sooner or later you'll pretty much get what you deserve. Or sometimes you may just use erasure techniques. Erase those unwanted thoughts instantly and keep the good ones of course. Remember that you are far better and lucky when you look at those who are living in the slums, beggars, blind people, those abandoned kids in the streets. Count your blessings!

Physically, try to do exercises whenever you have a chance to do it. More often when you feel good physically your mind reacts to it which would certainly make you feel great.
