Today is PART 4 of the Intentional Intoxication mini-course, created to help you apply what you’ve learned from the book in your actual life. 

When we find ourselves in an unexpected, unwanted, or uninspired new normal, you may be tempted to argue with or resist your circumstances. 

In Expectation Hangover, author Christine Hassler teaches that when our expectations fail to meet our reality, we’ll suffer a disappointing “expectation hangover”. You can grab a copy of her book here:

Expectation Hangover

 

I invite you to consider these questions:

• When have you found yourself in an expectation hangover?
• How do you tend to respond or react to a new normal:
  • avoid?
  • resist?
  • argue with?
  • numb?
• When do you try to think your way over the top of your painful emotions?
• When do you tell yourself that you’ll feel better “over there”?
• When have you hustled to change your circumstances in order to avoid your pain and disappointment?
