How to Handle Disappointments?
Happy New Week
If you run from disappointment,
you run from life itself.
Disappointment can soften the mind
and open the heart.
If you let it.
Don't be afraid to release an old world.
When our hopes, dreams and expectations shatter, it can hurt like hell.
The invitation?
Turn towards the hurt.
Actually feel the pain, instead of numbing it
or running towards some new dream.
Break the addiction to 'the next experience'.
Bring curious attention to the fluttery sensations in the belly,
the constricted feeling in the heart area,
the lump in the throat,
the heaviness in the head.
To what's alive. To what's screaming for attention.
Turn towards this burning moment.
Breathe into the uncomfortable place.
Don't abandon yourself yet for a shiny new future.
Don't leave yourself for the world of thought.
Let the mind chatter away, but don't take it as reality.
Disappointment is bringing you closer to yourself.
To your breath.
To the weight of your body upon the Earth.
To the sounds of the afternoon.
To the evening's song.
You've been lost in your head, friend.
Return to your heart now.
Soften into the moment.
Return Home.
Let expectations melt.
Into silence.
Into a new
beginning.
Kind Regards
