We all experience disappointments in life, and they are never easy. When you get disappointed, what do you do? Keep silent? Get angry? Feel depressed? These are natural reactions when you face disappointment. But there are better ways to deal with it.

Coping with disappointment

Disappointment is a real emotion. Take a certain amount of time to feel hurt, sad or upset. Find a parent, friend or mentor and share your disappointment with them. Or write your thoughts and feelings of frustration down on paper.

Look at the Big Picture

A disappointment can seem huge at first, but after you’ve expressed your hurt, look at the big picture. How much will this disappointment really affect you tomorrow, next week or next year? Look for positive activities that will help you get over your disappointment. Perhaps you may enjoy writing in your journal, playing games or running in the park. Do one or more of those things. This will help you overcome the disappointment. Also, write down everything that you’re grateful for. This will help you see the positive things rather than the negative things.

Moving ahead

You’ve been disappointed. That’s in the past. It’s time to move forward, so don’t think about your disappointment. Remember not all disappointments are bad. In fact, you may eventually realize what you wanted is not what you really needed. You may discover you are better off because things didn’t work out as you’d planned. There may be a silver lining in your disappointment. Use the disappointment to reexamine your priorities. Then you may want to make major or minor changes in your life and focus on new goals. That can help you work through your disappointment. Remember, the only true failure is to give up.
