Summary: Let it go, they say when you screw up. Move on, forget about it, what’s done is done. No, says a recent study, you need to feel bad in order to learn. The study, published in the Journal of Behavioral Decision Making, suggests emotions should be involved during your self reflection post-failure. Why? We tend to justify what happened when we only look at things rationally. Basically, we make excuses instead of taking the necessary steps to adapt and avoid the same mistake in the future.
