Sometimes it can be powerful to ask ourselves the tough question of ‘have we been wrong about this?’ Whether it’s about a decision that we’ve made in the past or one we keep on making, it can be powerful to ask the boldest of questions of self reflection. Doing so, though, in a way that doesn’t lead us to shame, guilt or regret is somewhat of an art. Being objective doesn’t come as easy to some as it does to others because the notion of ‘failure’ can have such a powerful and lasting impact. This notion of ‘failure’ – either considering our actions or even ourselves in our entirety as either living up to a standard or falling short – often does more harm than good and as a result the management of this concept is emerging as a secret weapon in helping people do things of significant.

You see there are a range of beliefs when it comes to behaviours and habits as they relate to our health. It’s not scandalous to say that there are as many different dietary persuasions as there are instagram influencers and it’s potentially not possible to say that there is universal agreement about what ‘good eating’ should look like. Equally, we’re seeing people be particularly brazen about other more technical aspects to health and medicine like pharmaceuticals. There are those in staunch opposition to anything remotely pharmaceutical, and those who expect there to be a pill or a jab to fix each and every ailment. Whilst the truth is always somewhere in the middle, it all stands to prove that the age of information is as much the age of dis-information – where there’s a YouTube video for almost any every task you could ever hope for instruction in.
