Seven Failure Principles from Elizabeth Day's How to Fail Live with Reni Eddo-Lodge
1. Failure is a fact but you are not defined by it
"Just because you fail does not make you a failure"
2. You are not your anxious brain
The brain tells us something is a danger when it isn't
We are not defined by our thoughts
3. Almost everyone feels they have failed in their 20s
4. Break ups are not a tragedy - your ex-partner has taught you something
5. Failure is data acquisition
6. There is no such thing as a future you
7. When we choose to share our vulnerabilities is when we feel most satisfaction
A couple more nuggets of wisdom that Day shared include
When times get too tough and you feel like giving up, cling on because the biggest failure may be not finding out what will happen
Anxiety doesn't want you to enjoy life
