One of the first things you need to do after experiencing failure is to let yourself feel everything. You can't make clear decisions if you're pretending not to be upset. Acknowledge your emotions - whether they include frustration, sadness or anger - and give yourself time and space to lean into those feelings. At the same time, it's crucial to set a deadline for when you'll stop wallowing and get back to work.
Not all failures are created equal, so honor the time you need to get back on your feet. When my first company didn't succeed, I felt the weight of that failure deeply. I spent months obsessing over starting another company, frantically coming up with ideas that weren't great because I was forcing it.
