The Principal of BounceBack
As human beings, experiencing failure or setbacks can be an overwhelming experience. People often feel embarrassed or ashamed when such an unfortunate outcome occurs, and this often leads to a severe downturn in self-confidence. That is where BounceBack comes in: a method of self-reflection designed to help individuals build resilience and put themselves back on a path to success. This practice is based on the belief that when faced with hardship and difficulty, one must identify and accept the failure, use and learn from that failure, and take back control of their own lives instead of simply allowing it to control them.
BounceBack is about creating a positive frame of mind, allowing one to take back ownership of their own lives and move forward in a more mature and productive way. It is about being able to come out of a challenging situation a better person, having gained insight and strength from the experience. This practice lays the foundation for a successful and happier future, as it instils self-forgiveness and self-confidence, which are essential to succeed in life.
BounceBack is an active process of self-reflection, wherein an individual looks inward and assesses their behaviour, thoughts and decisions that led to the failure. This helps to gain insight and understanding into why things went wrong in the first place. It is important to take ownership of all of one’s actions and behaviours, rather than shying away from criticism or blaming others for one’s own missteps. Through this process, individuals are able to acknowledge and accept responsibility for their mistakes and begin the journey towards self-improvement and personal growth.
The final step is to rebuild confidence and a sense of determination. This means developing self-awareness and learning to apply the knowledge gained from BounceBack to future endeavours. This could mean changing one’s way of thinking, finding new ways to take control of their life or seeking better methods to perform certain tasks. With each BounceBack project, individuals should use it as an opportunity to look at and adjust any behaviour, attitude or ways of thinking that may have lead them to their failure and learn from it.
The power of BounceBack lies in the amazing potential it unlock within an individual. Through thoughtful contemplation, self-reflection, understanding, awareness and rejuvenation of confidence, BounceBack positions individuals in a way that sets them up for success in all future endeavors.
