Dealing with Disappointment

Now and again, we face disappointing situations that can be unsettling, and the temptation is to let our thoughts run wild until we find ourselves in a dark hole.

This impacted my mood, and I realised that all of a sudden different unfruitful thoughts (worry) started popping up in my mind and I had to stop to reflect.

Because I am more self-aware and in tune with my authentic self, I could tell that if I stayed in this mood and allowed myself to worry about things, I would be ruining the rest of my evening.

So, I decided to let go and refocus my mind on things I can control.

๐Ÿ“My joy

๐Ÿ“My peace

๐Ÿ“My thoughts

๐Ÿ“My expectations

Now and again, we face disappointing situations that can be unsettling, and the temptation is to let our thoughts run wild until we find ourselves in a dark hole.

Have items in your joy toolkit that allow you to snap out of that negative mood.

One of mine is journaling, it gives my soul expression, and it leaps for joy.
