If there’s one thing we hope these pictures will convince you of, it’s that mistakes are an unavoidable part of life. However, accepting this fact can take time. So we reached out to licensed clinical psychologist Dr. Laura Bowles to learn how to embrace it.

Dr. Bowles is a member of the NY Health Hypnosis & Integrative Therapy team. She specializes in treating eating disorders, anxiety, panic disorders, IBS, gut and digestive issues, self-esteem, motivation, and relationship challenges.

"Fear of failure can have many origins," Dr. Bowles told Bored Panda. "People who experienced harsh criticism or rejection from parents, caregivers, or loved ones while growing up can develop a fear of failure. The same goes for those who experienced shame, embarrassment, or bullying after experiencing failure."
