Reframe A Hobby Setback As A Fixable Problem
The bread didn't rise, the pot collapsed on the wheel, or the paint went patchy, and now you are questioning why you bother. This separates what actually went wrong technically from the story you are telling yourself, then gives two things to try differently next time.
