273 // When Life Throws Us a Curveball with Brene Brown’s Atlas of the Heart
273 // When Things Don’t Go as Planned
We all like to plan for life and set expectations for how things should go, but what happens when life doesn’t go as planned? Or people or circumstances don’t meet expectations? We try to have a baby and are unable, we lose jobs, marriages end, we lose faith. In this episode we talk about the disappointment, regrets, discouragement, and frustration associated with these situations and tools we can use to view and navigate them with greater understanding and peace.
Main Ideas
The language we use to define our emotions matters!
Disappointment vs. Regret - we feel disappointment when things don’t go how we wanted them to, and we feel the outcome is out of our control. We feel regret when things don’t go how we wanted, and we feel the outcome was caused by our own decisions, actions, or failure to act.
Regret can be one of our greatest (and most uncomfortable) teachers
Tools we talk about - Involving God, “TFT”s from Brené Brown, Fear Setting from Tim Ferris
