TIPS TO MOVING ON FROM DISAPPOINTMENTS
Perhaps you have started the year, a business or a journey with high hopes, set targets and done everything required to succeed, but did not come to fruition. The next thing that happens is you feel sad, anger and sometimes you withdraw.
Disappointment is complex and can be difficult to deal with.
Someone may have let you down, betrayed, failed an examination, lose out on businesses and had troubles in your personal life, I want to tell you that you should allow yourself have that feeling of anger and disappointment but not dwell on it.
Here are some tips as you sojourn in life that would allow you to move forward because no problem will solve itself by you ruminating over it.
So…..
1) Experience the feeling – It is always good to let it all out when you have been disappointed. You can cry, scream or even laugh. Many people feel it is wrong to allow ourselves to feel and be emotional but no.
Remember Children will throw tantrum, cry and then laugh or just sleep off after crying. When they wake up, they are good to go.
2) Reflect – Ask questions such as what did I do wrong? What processes or procedures did I apply that didn’t work out? What should I have done? When you have done this, it helps you move to getting some perspectives as you eliminate the waste that can keep you in the relegated position. Remember to take it slow, do not rush.
Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.
3) Talk to Someone – You have put yourself in a reflective mood and now you are moving forward. You are aware of the mistakes you made and it’s time to get some help. There is no shame in speaking to people. There is one person who has been there, who is willing to listen and guide you. Accept help
4) Grow – Disappointments I always say are part of our lives and they can help us grow. They can help us become better people and they can help us add value to ourselves. Grow in your thoughts, grow in your being and know that you might still experience another and another and another but have it in your mind that disappointment will always pass.
As we step into April in a few hours, I pray you step into your glorious blessings, I pray supernatural doors be upon unto you, so much that eyes will see and ears will hear.
