Disappointment is a difficult emotion.

It feels so terrible in our bodies, that our brain is wired to do everything it can to avoid it.

This means we'll often avoid asking for a raise, applying for a new job, or going on a date because we're afraid to feel disappointed if things don't work out.

You may think what you're avoiding is failure (and you wouldn't be wrong), but at a deeper level, you're avoiding how failure makes you feel (hint, hint: disappointed).

But, what if you were willing to feel disappointment? What would be possible for your career or your relationships if you were willing to try, knowing that the worse that could happen would be feeling disappointed?

Endless possibilities. That's what would be possible for you.

Learning how to feel and process disappointment is a super power.

In this weeks podcast episode, I teach you how.

Listen in and learn:

• What disappointment does to our brains
• The reward-prediction error
• The link between disappointment and depression
• How to feel hard feelings
• How to process disappointment to proper you towards your goals
