Dealing With Disappointment

Description

Disappointment is a natural part of life. It can also be a powerful force that keeps us stuck or paralyzed. In this episode, learn to deal with your disappointment in a healthy way so you can move forward and come out on the other side better than before.

Transformation Tip: You can’t be disillusioned unless you were believing an illusion to begin with.

Dealing with disappointment does not mean burying it or ignoring it

Time can only heal disappointment if you truly face it and deal with it

Ways to deal with disappointment:

Let it out
Don't contain it - you need to feel it
Find a therapist or a trusted friend to vent to
Journal about it
Gain perspective
- Find a trusted outside perspective
- Were your expectations too high?
- Separate your desire from the object of your desire
Recenter yourself
- Don’t let disappointment define you - let it refine you
- Remind yourself who you are
Live in the present
- Disappointments of the past do not have to define who you are in the present
- Allow disappointments to become learning experiences (growth mindset)
- Allow yourself the ability to start over

Transformation Application: If you’re holding on to a disappointment, find time to let it out or gain a new perspective by talking to someone.
