Disappointment From Expectations

Do you find that you do things to get a result? Of course you do. But what is your expectation and do you find yourself drowning in disappointment? 

When does acting from expectations cause issues? It's when you do something to try to manipulate the behavior of someone else in order for you to get what you want or to  feel better. 

In other words you do something to get something. But then when it doesn't go the way you wanted it to, you get upset. 

This could be as simple as a friend didn't call you back even when you sent them a message to do so. 

When you rely on others for your own feelings, you are giving your power away. When you try to manipulate the behavior of others and it doesn't go the way you anticipated or expected - it's a good time to check in to why you want to give someone else the power over your own happiness or satisfaction. 

Acting from expectations is an opportunity to really understand why you do what you do in your life. And then question it. Do you like what you are doing and the results? Are you blaming the results on someone or something else based on your expectations? 

This can be tough stuff when it comes down to it all. That's why having an external view can always help. I have FREE sessions for you - start understanding your own true expectations today without all the disappointment.
