Disappointment isn't just a fleeting feeling, it's layered.
Disappointment is something we've all faced, but Kendell Boysen's episode on Encouragementology offers a fresh perspective. She explores how to rebuild trust with yourself after life doesn't go as planned. Imagine that gut-punch moment when expectations crash into reality, leaving you feeling stalled and shaken. Kendell suggests viewing disappointment not as a dead end, but as a detour—an opportunity to find paths you might have missed if things had gone perfectly.
Through a blend of practical strategies and personal reflections, Kendell dives into how disappointment can chip away at resilience, yet also reshape your perspective. She provides tools to climb out of a rut and cope in ways that strengthen your self-trust. The episode is packed with insights on recognising the layered nature of disappointment and how it can affect various aspects of life, from confidence to relationships.
Kendell shares advice on separating events from your identity and spotting hidden gains in setbacks. She encourages making micro-promises to rebuild trust with yourself, celebrating small wins, and embracing change with radical acceptance. Kendell also touches on the concept of 'liminating'—a playful approach to handling life's lemons by making lemonade. Whether you're grappling with disappointment or looking for ways to enhance your resilience, this episode offers a thoughtful guide.
It invites you to reflect on your responses to setbacks and consider how they might be shaping your outlook and opportunities. So, why not tune in and discover how disappointment could be the very thing that propels you forward?
