Why Do You Feel Disappointed - Wellbeing Wisdom Tiny Bites Podcast

Yesterday, I was disappointed. Something I ordered and needed by a certain date hadn’t arrived, and I was bummed. Normal, right? I had an expectation of getting what I needed when I needed it, and that expectation wasn’t met.

There’s a word that’s like expectation, and it’s a pretty good description of what we might think of doing with our expectations: expectoration.

In case you’ve never run across that word before, it means spit. When something is spit out, it is being forcefully ejected from someone’s mouth. You can forcefully eject things from your brain and heart, too.

Spit out your expectations.

The truth is, people don’t disappoint you. Your expectations of those people is where disappointment lives, and only you are in charge of your expectations. Expectorate them and replace them with appreciation.

Appreciation when something goes right.

Appreciation when you see something beautiful or extraordinary in a person, place, or thing.

Appreciation for your ability to shift your patterns to those that will serve you better than your expectations have.
