91. How to Deal with Disappointment

No matter how big your life is, you’re bound to face disappointment with some level of regularity. Disappointment comes when our expectations don’t match the reality of the situation. In the book “Expectation Hangover” by Christine Hassler, she breaks it down into three categories: Situational, interpersonal, and self-imposed. 

Left unchecked, disappointment can lead to a lack of motivation, depression, hopelessness, and even sickness. Luckily, it can be managed. Today, we talk about what to do in different situations to get through lingering clouds of disappointment and move on: anticipate it, feel it, control our response, and more.
