What You Feel When Things Aren’t What You Expected

When our life circumstances don’t unfold the way we want them to, it’s common for us to feel disappointed, regretful, discouraged, resigned, or frustrated.  In Atlas of the Heart, author Brene Brown explains each emotion: “Disappointed: It didn’t work out how I wanted, and I believe the outcome was outside of my control.” “Regretful: It didn’t work out how I wanted, and the outcome was caused by my decisions, actions, or failure to act.” “Discouraged: I’m losing my confidence and enthusiasm about any future effort - I’m losing the motivation and confidence to persist.” “Resigned: I’ve lost my confidence and enthusiasm about any future effort - I’ve lost the motivation and confidence to persist.” “Frustrated:Something that feels out of my control is preventing me from achieving my desired outcome.” I invite you to consider these questions: How willing are you to “keep showing up” until you get there? What might prevent you from showing up consistently?
