“I missed my chance.”

When your voice says:

“I had my chance and I missed it.”

“Every door is closed now.”

Coach Lynn says:

A missed chance can be painful. It does not automatically mean there are no remaining paths, only that the path may look different now.

Then you say:

Here’s what I need to do:

• Take one or more Composure Breaths to settle my body.
• Name what I wanted from the missed opportunity.
• Identify one alternative path toward that same value or goal.
• Take one step toward the path that remains.

Coach Lynn says:

The original path may be gone, but your future isn’t. When you find a new route toward what you wanted, disappointment turns into direction and possibility opens up again.
