"What to do when…"

[Rich Kressly]

These are all awesome ideas and practices, thanks for sharing and keep going! However, what I'm after is related, but just a little bit different. In that moment of "huge disappointment" - whether it's on the field of play, at or after an awards ceremony, or in the shop at work - what enables your students (and mentors) to react to that adversity in the moment differently than the bulk of popular culture does?

Clearly the practices you all describe above lend themselves to building the kind of individual we're speaking of here, but I'm wondering if anyone addresses the individual and emotional "moments" that collectively define an overall experience and many times shape attitudes, behaviors, and accepted cultural practices.
