10. Disappointment and Regret

I want to be honest with you all; Disappointment and Regret are hard emotions to let flow. You want them so subside, you get a gut wrenching feeling that you can’t shake, and the first thing we try to do is shut it out. And in doing so, we know it only makes that feeling stronger. As hard as it is; letting it be, letting it flow, and recognizing the feeling is going to help it. Not saying it’ll make feeling it any less, but trying to shut it out makes each time feel like the first. As you let it be, your mind gains clarity. “What happened?” “What did i not see right?” “Where did i expect too much?” “How can i do this different next time?” “Ah! THIS is what it was”. The more you push aside, the more it builds. if it flows freely, yeah it’s discomforting, however, it’s coming and going as it should. Take it as an opportunity to not have that feeling arise in that way it did.
