How do you deal with disappointment?

Do you try to ignore the feeling?

Or are you able to process it in a healthy way?

Everyone experiences disappointment, so you’re definitely not alone.

At its root, the cause of disappointment is misalignment between what you want and what you have. And this gap can be any area of your life.

It also stems from the belief that you can only be happy when things go the way you want them to.

Disappointment can be used as an opportunity for self-reflection, for improvement and perhaps even a realization.

Disappointment can also teach you to recognize that almost every situation is temporary although at the time it might not feel that way.

Learn that being disappointed is okay; it’s just part of being human and as long as you don’t continuously focus on it and wallow in the feeling, it’ll pass as quickly as you let it.
