Engaging the Expectation - Experience Loop

Get in touch with us! We’d appreciate your feedback and comments.

The sense of certainty and the sense of autonomy are two pillars the brain requires to feel stable. The last year rattled both of these psychological posts and left many of us shaken and unsure. To some degree, a sense of normalcy has returned, and we can see this all around us. People have found their unique ways to navigate this new territory.

A rough experience can reshape our expectations for the future. As a result, we become more cautious and rethink our actions. We slow things down and consider how we move forward. This is a good thing.

When it becomes a bad thing is when being cautious turns into being overcautious. It’s when rethinking becomes overthinking. When this happens, it means we believe what happened to us yesterday will happen to us again tomorrow. We believe the past is a crystal ball to the future.

As we migrate further into 2022, I think it is prudent for us to be aware of our expectations, because they influence our thoughts, feelings and actions. One approach is to explore the expectation – experience loop.
