3 Tips That Take The Sting And Shame Out Of Disappointing Others

Disappointing others is a terrifying thing when we've been rejected, discarded, and harmed by it in the past.  Yet, to thrive and enjoy our lives, we must be willing to navigate this, so how do we do that?

Today I give you three tips that take the sting, shame, and intensity out of disappointing others.

- Tip one:  acknowledge the discomfort and allow it to be ok to be there. Use the Pause-Acknowledge-Observe practice to help with this: https://freetheself.com/library/library/the-pause-acknowledge-observe-practice/

- Tip two:  Practice a bit of trust that their disappointment doesn't put you in danger or make you wrong

- Tip three: Release the significance you give to their approval.  Use the Releasing Signficance Tool to help with this: https://youtu.be/wKfJF2hmvvI
