JAKARTA - Holding on to anger and disappointment is like drinking poison and expecting someone else to suffer. In fact, you are poisoning yourself. Even if you feel you are in the right and someone else has hurt your feelings, letting go of disappointment is always the best solution. If you're ready to break free from the shackles of disappointment, learn some ways to deal with the emotions that have been plaguing you for so long.

Confess feelings

Accepting disappointment, however painful it may be, allows you to fully understand the emotion. By accepting disappointment, you will have the skills to overcome disappointment and reduce its impact in the future. In addition, recognizing disappointment can also sharpen your self-awareness.

Evaluation of expectations

When you experience disappointment, try to re-evaluate your expectations. Is it realistic enough or not. By simplifying expectations, you also minimize disappointment.

Do not give up

Despair will emerge after being hit by a sense of disappointment. But, you should not use this as a benchmark not to try to achieve success afterward. After acknowledging your feelings and reevaluating your expectations, consider again doing things in a different way. Rising from disappointment will turn you into a tough person.

Consider all possibilities

Apply the law of probability or probability. If you are involved in an event where success seems hard to come by, then choose to take the opportunity and lower your expectations for success. So you can reduce disappointment. Or you can hold on to that hope and try a bigger effort.
