A Disappointment Habit Can Hold You Back
On yesterday’s teleclass, Working Through Your Money Issues, one of the participants admitted to being habitually disappointed in the outcomes of her life stories, expecially those that involve finances. Her habit was certainly not unique.
Many people have a disappointment habit, experiencing series of dramas that end in disappointment. Turning this around so that your like stories end with feelings of success and accomplishment requires that you first release your NEED for disappointment.
A disappointment habit is the result of holding in feelings of disappointment over an extended period of time. Those feelings keep looking for an avenue of expression and if you don’t express the feeling they will find that avenue through new life stories that magnify the feeling.
In order to avoid future disappointments, you need to release the pent of feelings from your system. You can do this by:
- Doing a disappointment inventory, writing a list of all the times you were disappointed. Start your sentences with I feel disappointed when . . . or I felt so disappointed when . . .
- Admiting, when something turns out in a way that is not to your liking, that you are disappointed. Say aloud, “I am so disappointed.”
- When approaching a new project, see if you can recognize an expectation of being disappointed. If you find that you harbor such an expectation, spend time imaging a positive outcome.
Use your power word with the following series of statements:
- I release my need for disappointment. Power word.
- I am willing to release my disappointment and find new ways to express myself. Power word.
- I give myself permission to let go of disappointment. Power word.
- I want to let go of disappointment and replace it with success and fulfillment. Power word.
- I have the ability to create successful, fulfillng life stories. Power word.
