How to lose? I am not sure whether I have an answer either. I usually look at the failure as logically as possible, without emotion, and try to see what went wrong.
Then I put the failure, along with its emotions, in a mental box and leave them alone whilst I work on whatever new plans I have.
Have you ever tried keeping the negative emotions to condition your brain? How did it work?
The closest I've come to this is with fear, which has once or twice in my life scared me so much that I never rested until I had achieved my goals. And it was a good motivator. However, on whether this is the best way, I have doubts, and it is certainly not a method I usually choose to use.
