Dwelling on failure can help you get ahead

Preparing for the worst may set you up for the best.

A study published today in the journal Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience found that beating yourself up could do you good in challenging situations.

When people in the study wrote with brutal honesty about their past failures, their stress levels dropped, they made more careful choices immediately afterward and they improved their overall performance in stressful tasks.

The researchers proved this with 102 test subjects, whose cortisol levels were tested throughout the study to measure stress. Some wrote about their failures, while others wrote about the plot of a movie they had recently seen.

Then they were asked to complete two different tasks, one to measure their performance, and one to measure their judgment.

They found that the people who wrote about their failures had lower cortisol levels compared to the control group who wrote about movie plots when performing the challenges, and that the former made more careful choices on a new task.

In stressful situations, the people who wrote about their failures performed much better.

So when times are tough, just remember one thing: You`re a failure.
