Bouncing Back From Disappointment
Briefly

Processing disappointment with introspection, rather than rumination, can lead to healthier outcomes. Our upbringing influences responses, but it does not define our future reactions.
Embrace change by slowing down and reflecting. Rituals like shiva remind us of the importance of taking time after loss to process changes in our lives.
Reframing negative situations, as shown by research, can alleviate stress and anxiety. By changing our perspective, we can create a sense of empowerment.
Adopting a 'good enough' mindset leads to more secure emotional foundations than striving for unattainable perfection, which fosters insecurity and disappointment.
