Two ways to stop ruminating at work

As a coach, I talk to clients who can get stuck on ruminating on something that didn’t go the way they wanted or expected. When you feel like that, here are two things to remember:

1. Zoom out. One not so great piece of work doesn’t make you bad at your job overnight. Look at the bigger picture. No one gets it right all the time.

2. Even when you do everything right some things will go sideways. There are so many outside factors you can’t control that can impact things. Accept this and just do your best.
