Disappointment is the uncomfortable, depressing and unpleasant sensation you get when reality comes up against the fantasy of pre-judgement. If you make stuff up in your head about the future, and then the future reality fails to play along with your projected future fantasy, you can feel pretty let down.
But we can only feel disappointed if we were expecting something. If what we were expecting was simplistically unrealistic and we are in the habit of doing this then we are going to be disappointed a lot of the time. Life starts to feel less pleasant. This might sound a bit unfair. After all, if we have paid for service, or are expecting a friend to behave decently toward us, is this not reasonable?
Disappointment as habit
Well, yes, it certainly is. Much disappointment is justified, and in fact works as a signal that perhaps you have been badly treated. So perhaps the ‘signal’ that the feelings of disappointment are giving us means we need to take feedback and complain or rectify the situation in some other way. The new download over at hypnosisdownloads.com is Dealing with disappointment, and it really takes this into account.
This session is really for people who often or even constantly feel let down by others, fate and life in general. People who build expectations about how things should turn out with no real grounds for those expectations. In such cases, disappointment is something you ‘do’ rather than something that ‘happens’ to you.
The session helps people not only to come to terms with past disappointments but also to keep an even, open mind about possible future outcomes so as to avoid the disappointment-inducing ‘putting all your eggs in one basket’ approach to thinking about the future.
