Dealing with disappointment is a common human experience but it can still be hard to navigate it. It’s okay to be upset, sad, lost or unmotivated when things don’t go as planned. It’s natural to feel upset after being let down, but dwelling for too long in unfulfilled expectations may be unhelpful.
You might want to take time to reflect and understand what truly matters to you and why certain outcomes affect you deeply. Disappointment can stem from unmet expectations and if our hopes weren’t 100% realistic it may be important to adjust them. You don’t want to stop fighting for your goals but you may want to reframe the situation to protect yourself from further harsh setbacks.
Consider how you can learn and improve from the situation. Be kind and take care of yourself and seek support, encouragement and new perspectives from meaningful others. It’s important to reframe your perspective and get back on your feet feeling more balanced and positive.
