136 - Disappointment

Hello, Queens! Alexis and Mary are talking about how many people may disappoint us, and how difficult it can be to give ourselves permission to disappoint others. The solution is not always in the pulling of weeds, but possibly in allowing ourselves to be in our ‘disappoint everybody’ era.

 

Lexy talks about The Courage To Be Disliked by Ichiro Kishimi. As usual, here is a list of all our book recommendations here on Amazon. Mary mentions the film (500) Days of Summer, and in particular this clip of Expectations vs. Reality. We also talk about boundaries and beliefs.

 

Our challenge this week is to look objectively at yourself and your relationships, goals and career, and figure out what belief system you are using to support your fear of disappointment. What is disappointment doing for you? Is it motivating you, or is it shutting you down?
