First step: Acknowledge what hasn’t come and allow yourself to grieve.
Too many times, especially when you are trying to “stay positive,” you end up pushing away a disappointment. Perhaps you feel like it “shouldn’t” be that big of a deal…or it seems easier to push away the emotion than to have to feel the sadness of disappointment.
The only problem with this is you push the disappointment out of your consciousness, but your body remembers and stores the emotions. Then, the next time you experience disappointment, you find yourself reacting to the current disappointment AND the older memory. So, it is best to acknowledge the emotions as they are happening and do your grieving in the moment.
Allow yourself to feel the feelings.
Remember, this is just step one of the process. I’ll be sharing each successive step in the weeks to come.
For each step of the process to release disappointment, I’m going to give you an EFT statement and affirmation to support the work you are doing. You either can use the statement proactively, or as you are actively working on releasing disappointment. You can find these statements in the EFT section at the end of the newsletter.
