A tough emotion can hide a valuable message.

By showing up to the emotion, we are able to use the data it provides and move courageously in the direction of our values with greater wisdom.

What are your emotions telling you today?

If disappointment is a hard feeling for you to feel as an adult, that's a clue that you've run into old unprocessed pain.

Disappointment as a child can feel really scary. We are vulnerable as children and are literally relying on the adults around us to survive and help is thrive. If you were chronically let down as a child, you may find yourself having big reactions to experiencing this feeling today, as an adult.

Those big feelings aren't necessarily all in response to what happened today (though if we're constantly being let down by a particular person you'll want to pay attention to that and address it). You might want to remind yourself- it's okay to feel disappointment.

It's even okay for people to let you down occasionally (after all, we are all human and will make mistakes).

Your inner child might need soothing and reassurance so that adult you can handle what is actually transpiring for you today.
