How to Deal With Unfulfilled Expectations

 

Worried about Nothing Podcast 25 - conversation with Danielle, Katya and Kim, 2nd August 2020

 

~ Worried About Nothing & Nothing to Worry About ~

 

Weekly conversations (and individual podcasts) with Danielle, Katya and Kim (and friends) about topics ranging from spirituality, to meditation, to fears and worries, and other subjects in between.

 

Today we spoke about having expectations for or anticipating an event, and how our minds can sometimes create entire stories and scenarios in our heads which we measure our experience against, so what we are in essence doing is not actually being present in an experience, but instead being disappointed that it doesn't live up to our imagined expectations. Or we can block ourselves from any enjoyment or fulfilment in the experience at all.  And by overthinking, we can end up trapped in webs of our own making. 

We discussed how having fantasy scenarios of 'better' lives are actually a rejection of ourselves, as we are now, and a lack of self-love.We talked about being in the moment, without expectation, without thought, and how this is so much more of an easier way to live. How giving up expectations and predictions about experiences allows us to be present, allows us to be in the moment as it is, rather than how we want it to be. How this is a richer and much more fulfilling way to go through life, allowing what is to be.
