Climbing back to the top 2 : Acknowledging Defeat

In part one I introduced you to my mini series on climbing back to the top to day we discuss the first step to take to getting back to your game and performing at an even higher level

Acknowledge your defeat and get over it.
The first step you should take from having a defeat is to acknowledge your defat and your current situation. Someone might say that I have been through this step already and all the tears in my eyes is proof of it. I still think it is good to sit down and look at the bigger picture. Look back at you previous attitude and the approach you took before your defeat. Then the next thing will be to look at what caused the defeat. Now at this stage it is important for you to look at all factors that might have come to play. You will now have to take time to encourage your self that you can come out of it. Stay away form negative minded people. Such company would make it impossible for you to get any where with your climb up. Find something to do to take your mind of the pain of defeat. Go out with friends listen to music anything positive just get your mind of that pain and get yourself ready for a good start back to the top.
Just understand that you lost a race and get over the pain. This will help you to get into the frame of mind for another try.
