Feeling exhausted, unmotivated? Unfelt disappointment may be the cause.

Throughout this episode,  I have been noticing a lot of my patients dealing with exhaustion and a general lack of motivation. It really got me pondering what is really going on. As I sat with this question it dawned on me that the past 2 years, we have had so many things to deal with and so many disappointments that I don’t think we have either acknowledged or even begin to process. In this investigation, I stumbled upon my own disappointment and as I acknowledged it and began to process it, my energy started shifting. So, I began exploring this with my patients and sure enough, they too began to feel better. This episode explores the gift of acknowledging our disappointments big and small so that we can begin to move on in our lives. 

Listen as I ponder and answer my questions to these answers: 

• Are people dealing with a sense of chronic disappointment built up over the last 2 years? (2:08)
• Even though it can look discouraging right now in the world, I believe we are in a transition toward an even better place in the future (3:16)
• We have to begin to deal with a sense of disappointment at all that we gave up over the last 2 years so that it doesn’t keep running in our bodies and psyche, giving us the impression that nothing that we want will ever happen(3:37)
• Take a moment and just check-in and see if you have unacknowledged disappointment lurking below the surface (4:04)
• Notice what emotions rise to the surface when you feel your disappointment (4:54)
• Upon my own inquiry, I realized how disappointed I was in having my one-woman show canceled due to Covid from opening on theatre row in NYC (5:35)
• I created a story attached to my unfelt/unacknowledged disappointment as many of us often do (7:21)
• If we can begin to feel our feelings, we can move the energy and move from there (9:57)
• Anyone who has been super successful has had to deal with setbacks and disappoints but the difference is is that they don’t allow themselves to stay down for forever(11:06)
• How to create a new story (11:55)
• How we relate and respond to the situation is where we have power (12:49)
• A nightly ritual of Gratitude(17:32)
