Spiraling Higher 87. Intentions vs. Expectations: The Dramatic Difference
What is the difference between intentions and expectations? Well, we wish we knew before we created a LOT of internal suffering for ourselves! But today, we have a chat about living intentionally versus expectantly and how to feel for the difference along with some tell-tale signs of which paradigm you’re operating from.
Before we discovered and integrated the Laws of Attraction and Assumption, we gripped SO tightly to our expectations. We had a laundry list of conditions that absolutely had to met in order to just feel “okay.” If any one of these conditions or expectations were not met, we would be wrecked with disappointment, self blame and guilt.
It was a nasty cycle. Every time that disappointment would hit, we would just repeat the cycle again by becoming attached to a new expectation that would hopefully save us from the pain of the previous disappointment. After suffering in this cycle for years, we realized there was another way to live - a life that actually didn’t need expectations at all.
We switched our expectations to intentions - self made promises that we could uphold in the present moment no matter what the conditions were…
…and it changed everything.
If you are someone who struggles with disappointment, maybe even refuses to set big goals or go after what they want, this episode for you.
