Summary: Podcast #591<br> DISAPPOINTMENT AND DISCOURAGEMENT: HOW TO STAY CONFIDENT WHEN YOU FEEL DOWN<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Do you hate the feeling of disappointment? Are you afraid to go all in, out of fear that it just might not work out? Do you ever feel like you spend your life waiting for the other shoe to drop? Or perhaps, do you get really run down and sidelined when you feel discouraged? If you answered yes to any of those questions, this episode is for you.<br> I used to be afraid to go all in on things because I was afraid of disappointment. When I learned that disappointment wasn't permanent and didn't have to define me, I shed the shame and learned how to allow it in my life.

In this episode of The Confidence Podcast I'm going to share my exact strategies that I now use to talk back to my discouragement. You can apply these to your life and be able to accelerate your ability to move forward with confidence.<br> <br> Get the full show notes at <a href="http://www.trishblackwell.com/591" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.trishblackwell.com/591&source=gmail&ust=1710875556029000&usg=AOvVaw2L6H2ONKAyXkKYt3Mb6cxm">www.trishblackwell.com/591</a>If this show encourages you, leave a review.<br> If your life has changed for the better, share with a friend.<br> If you want your life to improve even more, join me in the College of Confidence by checking out <a href="http://www.collegeofconfidence.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.collegeofconfidence.com&source=gmail&ust=1710875556029000&usg=AOvVaw1Cfz7thtRdblhpF3Fz2rMq">www.collegeofconfidence.com</a>"Disappointment is a sort of bankruptcy - the bankruptcy of a soul that expends too much in hope and expectation." - Eric Hoffer"Disappointment is a part of life, but suffering is optional." - Charles R.
