How many times have you felt disappointed or surprised that something hasn’t gone quite as you expected?Or found yourself feeling faintly uncomfortable at how something was unfolding- perhaps not quite knowing what you’re feeling or why you’re feeling it?As humans we all make assumptions all the time - they're useful things, designed to keep us safe.But the challenge is that our assumptions can be misguided at times.Today we're looking at Great (or not so great) Expectations:How we can find ourselves assuming something is going to go really well, and end up downhearted. Or we assume it will go really badly and tie ourself up in knots before the thing happens.How finding the balance between positive anticipation and unhelpful assumptions can be tricky - especially as we’re not always aware of the assumptions we’re creating.And I share an ImageWork practice that can help us create and maintain a mindful awareness of what we're facing into - where we vision the day (or event) ahead, seeing what our imagination can show us about the assumptions we might be makingI'm also offering this practice as a LIVE online eventVision The Day: Thursday 7 December 7-9pm BSTFind out more and book your tickets through Eventbrite or see the information on my website - tickets are going fast!https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/vision-the-day-tickets-754474251797?utm-campaign=social&utm-content=attendeeshare&utm-medium=discovery&utm-term=listing&utm-source=cp&aff=ebdsshcopyurlJoin the mailing list & receive the mini-course '3 little acts of self-compassion', completely free https://hennyflynn.ck.page/6e83d0227eExplore Henny's coaching, books, retreats, courses & events https://www.hennyflynn.co.uk/
