The more self-aware you are, the easier life can be for you.

Life is full of peaks and valleys.

Some days you see sunshine and other days dark nights of the soul.

Disappointments are a natural part of life when one has expectations or attachments to how one wants things to turn out.

When you understand who you are and how you handle life, you aren’t taken over by circumstances.

You know life will give you what you need for your highest good and growth.

Life wants you to heal. Whether conscious or unconscious.

Often, the most “normal” response to what is happening is to be in resistance. Resistance only gives you more of what you don’t want and digs you in deeper.

Most people aren’t conscious or aware that how they respond affects the results and the future of what will be given.

Abraham-Hicks talks about the Process of Pivoting. “Whenever you feel negative emotions which helps you know you are in unwanted territory, stop and say, this is not what I want. Pause. Let the energy change. You might not know what you want, but you do know you do not want whatever is happening for the moment.”

Recently with the election of the new President, there was half the country pleased and the other half in great disappointment and shock. There have been an array of feelings and reactions. Notice where you are in that scale.

I know for me, I have learned more about being in my emotions, not spiritually bypassing them. Feeling all that’s there. And, then checking in with what is there for me to learn, garner. What’s next for me? What do I need to hear? I know there is always something there. Whether it’s on the end of learning more gratitude and appreciation or lessons like my attachments or how I handle disappointments.

I know one of the easy responses to this Presidential election can be is to disagree. Rant on. Is that you?

Are you arguing with what is? I know I can spend more time than helpful here. Especially when I have strong feelings or beliefs about the situation or circumstances. The good of that is that I now know that. I can catch myself in that state of arguing. Yes, I can have my feelings about whatever but resisting what is, doesn’t move me in the direction I desire.

Begin to notice how you handle disappointments. Whether big or small situations. Like an item at the store is out that you were after, or your team loses, or your garage door doesn’t work.

Do you perseverate about it, or notice it and move on? Do you lash out at others and blame? Can you see any meaning in what is going on?

Feel the differences in your body in how you handle disappointments.

Your health depends upon it. Stress is one of the leading factors of illnesses.

Can you feel the difference in just knowing that disappointments are part of life?

Life doesn’t always go the way you want. So if that is true, how can you prepare yourself so you are not as reactionary, and can be more grounded to be in the space of solutions?

Your attitude is everything.

Being more self-aware helps you have a new perspective of what can be possible for you during disappointments with life, in life.

By becoming more aware of how you handle disappointments allows you to clean up your life so you see and feel more joy and peace.

Disappointments are part of life. How can you use them as an opportunity to wake you to a greater life?
