My principle is to always trust the process. This is a bit what I describe with the idea of the kaizen spirit. I say to myself: "Johan, there is no point in stressing out about a project that is in progress, you have to do your best, obviously, you have to work hard, you have to work every day, regularly, with the kaizen spirit, telling yourself that the process, the regular work, will pay off."
Once you can convince yourself of that, once you can be convinced that your repeated daily efforts will move you towards your long-term goals, you will stress less when you have small failures, so to speak, because for me there is no such thing as failure. I don't remember who said that, but there is a famous quote that we see everywhere on social networks: "I never lose. Either I win or I learn." It's a bit of a cliché, but there is some truth in it. So, the idea is really to focus on the long term, to focus on your vision, you still have to know it and have defined it, but it has a really calming effect, it really calms you down.
I have an example that comes germany whatsapp number data to mind, French, just to help you understand what I mean by not reviewing the long term instead of the short term. Imagine, I worked hard to create a content, a YouTube video, and this YouTube video does not work, in quotes, according to my standards, that is to say it has few views, there are few people who leave a comment, there are few likes. On social networks, there are many ways to show the creator that we like his content or not.
I would tend, by nature, to have a rather anxious first reaction in fact. You say to yourself: "Oh! After all the work I've done, it's not working. Do people finally like me less? Do people not appreciate my work, do they not recognize my efforts?" We tend, the chimpanzee part of our brain will tend to have a lot of dark scenarios, like "this video didn't work or less than the others, it gets half the views". Without paying attention, five minutes later, you're thinking "what am I going to do if Français Authentique disappears and doesn't work anymore?" You can imagine this kind of irrational thinking.
And right away, when I start to have these slightly negative thoughts through a failure or through a short-term project that doesn't work out as I had planned, well I take the long-term view. And that, I took the example of a video, but it's also true for a course for example or a launch of the academy, really anything where we have a project, we expect a result. Right away, I'm going to try to shift my attention to the long term.
