Disappointment is part of life

Many times when we are disappointed we tend not to accept it well.… “Everything happens to me”, “I didn’t expect this”, “I just have very bad luck”. Disappointment is a difficult feeling to manage.

It seems as if bad things only happen to us, including disappointment, one of the human feelings that hurts our soul the most. However, If we took disappointment as something that is part of life’s backpack, we would handle these setbacks much better.

That a friend, a partner, a family member disappoints you in different ways, criticizing you behind your back, forgetting you from one day to the next, etc. In short, having them fail you like you never thought would happen, you have to learn to accept it.

Everyone receives those slaps, not just you. They will disappoint you, you will also disappoint… it is part of the game of life. Why don’t we learn to play?

Disappointment is part of all of our lives.

How many times have you been sitting in a bar and listened to an endless conversation between friends about “It’s just what it doesn’t seem like…”, “I didn’t expect it…” and blah blah blah… non-stop?

These types of conversations often serve to let us off steam, yes, but just as many times they serve to “burn us up.” Tirelessly repeating our disappointment and how badly that person has behaved towards us does nothing more than “burn us out.”

If someone has disappointed us, they have played a trick on us… comment on it but don’t beat yourself up. Don’t go around and around again as if you were a little mouse in a wheel, walking on its own steps without getting anywhere.

We all have feelings of sadness, anger, heartbreak in the face of disappointments but overestimating them is the bad thing. How can we break that ugly habit?

How can we end this habit?

Being disappointed is part of life. Perhaps the key is knowing how to fit the disappointment when it’s our turn and not anchor ourselves in it… Below, we offer you some tips so that the negative burden of disappointment does not take over your daily life…

Don’t overstate the topic. Okay, you’ve been disappointed, but that’s it. If you keep talking and thinking about it, the ball gets bigger and bigger. Occupy your mind with other things. Stop thinking about the same thing. Occupy your mind with other things. Dedicate time to your hobbies, your chores… stop that internal monologue that is so harmful to you.Comment to vent, but then close the topic as soon as possible. It’s good that you vent, that you tell that person who understands you so well what’s happening to you, but don’t keep saying the same thing over and over again.Also look at the good things that happen to you. Aren’t you realizing that you are more aware of your disappointment and that you don’t even stop to see the good things that happen to you? Don’t forget that there are always good people. They played you well, okay, but don’t give up, remember that there are always good people and that perhaps they have done you a favor so that you realize that the world does not begin and end with that person. There are a thousand people and a thousand good things waiting for you.Don’t be so inquisitive, remember that you make mistakes too. Are only others wrong? Nobody is perfect. Neither the others nor you. So learn to forgive and forgive yourself.

Learn to cultivate emotional balance and don’t let yourself be discouraged so easily. Installing ourselves in negativity does little good for us… perhaps nothing more than to make us unhappy…
