Dear Expectations,
Less Expectation, More Exploration, And Trust
When expectations rule our lives, we set ourselves up for disappointment. The most important thing to learn is to release expectations about how to think life should go and approach life from a place of exploration. This opens up to experiencing things that are beyond disappointments. It’s okay to have goals but make sure to leave room for something even greater to come along.
Maybe the most peaceful and quickest way to achieve something is a way you haven’t thought of yet. Be willing to go with the flow.
This requires trust. Learned to let go and trust this will ensure you receive everything you need.
Explore through life knowing deep down that you are always guided to exactly where you need to be. Plus, doesn’t explore sound like more fun than expecting?
Change Your Thoughts
If you are feeling disappointed, it’s because of the thoughts you have about the situation. So if you don’t want to feel disappointed, change your thoughts.
The first thing I do when I feel any disturbance to my peace of mind is say to myself, “I am determined to see this person/situation differently.” This is how you step into your power. Everything happens to you, not to you.
You’ll be amazed at the shifts in perception that occur when you become willing to release fear and see love instead.
When you focus on releasing the thoughts about how you imagined your life to be, your most loving, truthful self can come forward and guide you. There is nothing to figure out.
Look Beyond Your Distractions
A lot of us want external things because of the way we think they will make us feel. I wanted a healthier relationship because I thought it would make me feel happy and loved. I wanted a successful career because I thought I would feel fulfilled. I wanted a stable relationship because I thought it would relieve my loneliness.
These things can distract us from looking within ourselves for answers.
When they fail to do what we want, we feel disappointed and angry. In order to release this cycle of disappointment, we need to release the belief that they will save us. And live life more on the edge with you as the main captain of your life.
If you want to experience more love, start giving more love. HOWEVER, give your love without expectation because it will always be a possibility that they will not love you back. If you don’t want to feel lonely, then start healing the belief that you are alone. If you want to feel like you’re worth something, start treating yourself like you are worth something, because you most definitely are.
Changing the way you think to have a better outlook on things is only the first step. When you heal the beliefs that run wild in your mind, you can still enjoy the externals, but you’re no longer trying to get something from them. You know you’re already fulfilled, happy, and complete, so if your circumstances change, you can maintain your joy.
Relax More, Judge Yourself Less
I’ve learned that the loving voice within, also known as our inner guide, has a bigger plan for us than we have for ourselves.
The only thing you need to do in order to follow the path of your inner guidance is listening to it by releasing your judgments about what you think is happening. You don’t have to have everything figured out right now.
Get quiet and listen for guidance about what to do in this moment. Any advice coming from love will be something you can do now. The thought of doing it will make you feel lighter and excited.
