Hey there, Jen here, and this is a happy bit. On our last full episode on Monday,

Judy Sway, the guest, shared a quote that I really love, and it goes like this. When something

goes wrong in your life, just yell, plot twist, and move on. So often we build up grandiose

expectations of what our life should look like, what our

families should look like, how a spouse or our kids should behave, how we should act because

Better Homes and Gardens magazine or something else might have told us we should.

Nothing against Better Homes and Gardens, by the way. i'm just saying there's some really amazing houses

in there and some amazing looking families and i just noticed an amazing costume in there and then

when i compare that to my reality things can feel disappointing anyway back to this idea of

expectations when we have expectations and things don't match up,

we're very, very disappointed. It's hard to yell plot twist. But if we let go of those

expectations and decide to observe our lives, observe our spouse and children, without judgment,

without strong emotions, either way, we really can go and do what this quote says.

I'll read it again. When something goes wrong in your life, just yell, plot twist, and move on.

This feels so much more liberating to me. And I want to encourage you to examine your expectations that you have in your relationships,

that you have of yourself, your children, of your environment, maybe at work, and think what

would happen if you could let some of those go. You'll find you'll probably feel much less

unhappy, much less disappointed and let down. and it will be fun to just observe what's

happening. And it's liberating for the people in your life as well. They don't have to feel that

judgment or that disappointment. All right, make it a great week. Take care. Thanks for listening to the Vibrant Happy Women Podcast at www.
