3. Don't label the disappointment as "bad" ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Many people automatically assume that if something they don’t want happens to them, it's a “bad” thing that will likely lead to an even worse outcome down the road. Thinking this way inevitably makes you feel terrible. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Disappointing situations often have the potential to open the door to new events in our lives that we do want. You never know what will come of a situation, so rather than assuming a disappointing situation is bad, instead practice saying to yourself: I didn’t choose this, but let’s see what comes of it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Psychology Today
2. Don't personalize disappointment ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When we personalize disappointment, we make it feel bigger than it deserves to be. Whether or not a situation works out the way you want it to says nothing about your worthiness then or in the future. While there may be some things you did to influence the situation in one way or another, what is important to realize is that it was one event, and events are what we experience; they are not who we are. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Psychology Today
1. Don't globalize disappointment!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When something disappointing happens, a reaction for many of us is to spread that feeling into every aspect of our lives. "I didn't get what I wanted, which means I'm never going to get it down the road." ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What happens in the future is greatly influenced by what we do after something takes place. Don't let the disappointment control you. Instead, think towards a better outcome for the future.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Psychology Today
Life can be full of disappointments. The important Life can be full of disappointments. The important aspect of disappointment is how you deal with it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The reality is, not getting what you want never feels good to anyone. However, the intensity with which you feel the emotion of disappointment can be exponentially magnified by your interpretation of it. The meaning you give can vary broadly. Depending on how you look at it, disappointment can be devastating or an opportunity for something better. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Psychology Today⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Over the new few posts, we'll be talking about how you can recover from disappointment.

Have you heard the expressions? "Don't Eat the Fro Have you heard the expressions? "Don't Eat the Frog," before? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The idea of eating the frog refers to doing the task you're least motivated to do first. This can be a great strategy, but if you're feeling low trying to do your hardest task first can lead to you not getting out of bed. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Ask yourself, "What's the most productive task that is within my capacity right now?" For example, if you'd like to go for a run but you can't get yourself to do that, then going for a walk is better than staying in bed. - Psychology Today⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
No productivity strategy is right for all circumstances. If you're looking for help creating a strategy, give us a call and book in with one of our counsellors!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
