Are you trying to be happy but keep thinking about how you wish things were, instead of how they actually are?
Do you feel let down when people cancel on you or your plans fall through for unexpected reasons?
Maybe you have a goal and it isn’t coming true as fast as you want
I can relate. My friend Christine Hassler calls this “expectation hangover.” Where you want something to happen and it doesn’t happen the way or when you hoped, you fall victim to sadness and depression. You are hung over from the unmet expectations.
A lot of times we really want something, and when it doesn’t happen the way we think it should, we feel like our life is off track and we’ve somehow messed up.
But then there are also those times when we act like we don’t have expectations, but when things don’t happen the way we secretly hoped, we of course then feel let down. We feel like giant losers because our goals didn’t manifest.
Here’s the thing: We are human, we have desires, we have goals. There is nothing wrong with wanting things for yourself and loved ones; goals are part of achieving your full potential. These desires come to you for a reason—it’s the expectations around their manifesting when and how we think they should that hinders our happiness.
