You received bad news. You were just fired. Your significant other didn’t keep their word. You lost a client. You didn’t win the proposal.
There are a myriad of ways, we humans, can get disappointed in life.
Disappointment only comes when we get attached to life unfolding a certain way, and then resist what happens in reality.
Here are two tips:
First, see each disappointment as a mini-death of “a future you were hoping would happen.” The greater the disappointment, the greater the grief is to process. That means “feeling into the feelings of loss,” however painful it may be. Perhaps there are tears. Perhaps there is rage. The key is to FEEL into whatever feelings are associated with your disappointment. Of course, the more you feel into any feeling, the more quickly it will transform into something else.
Secondly, see each happening in life as a guide or nudge from the Universe. You may have wanted a different outcome, but how do you know THIS path doesn’t have even more gifts in store for you? By
focusing on the perfection of the Universe, trusting its twists and turns, inner peace quickly returns.

“Secondly, see each happening in life as a guide or nudge from the Universe.”
Brilliant, love that! It brings a quote to mind:
“Everything that happens is designed to awaken us. Everything.” ~ Leonard Jacobson
