Focusing on negative

    I have been thinking the past few days about something that I know plagues me and I can only assume has the same affect on others. I started paying a little more attention after our last Dog meeting. When we went around the circle so that everyone could describe where they were most of the conversations focused on the negatives. All of the things that were a struggle and that we were failing at. I know that the purpose was one of support which drives the focus on the negative and it oddly feels better to let those issues out. Solely focusing on the negative however can have even worse effects than the initial issues that caused a requirement to not be focused on.
     Focusing on everything you are failing at can quickly lead to wondering why you are doing or trying to do something in the first place. It is important to take a step back and see the failure for what it is, a chance to learn, and then move on. It is also equally as important to look at the wins to reinforce the fact that you are capable. You got this!
