Synonyms for disappointment
http://www.thesaurus.com/browse/disappointment
Disappointment can be judged only in relation to expectations, and is appropriate only when those expectations are reasonable. So if you don’t receive a Nobel prize in the next five years, there is no reason to get disappointed. Instead, admit to yourself that this expectation is unreasonable.

People mistakenly believe that one thing, for example a job title, can make us happy. And when we don’t get it, we’re disappointed. Research shows there’s no guarantee that if you get the things you want, you’ll be happy. In fact, there’s evidence to the contrary. People’s satisfaction with things is very short lived.
Instead, enjoy the present moment anytime. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-clarity/201706/dealing-disappointment
When your child is disappointed, particularly when the disappointment is connected to achievements, you have a wonderful chance to show them that you love them as they are. Reinforce that they don’t have to fulfill any conditions to
get or keep your love.

Exercise to become less afraid of disappointment and thereby become better at making decisions: 1. Go to a coffee shop to get a cup of coffee. 2. Allow yourself time to choose and order your coffee. 3. Pay attention to your hopes and expectations: Are you hoping that you will have a good or bad coffee experience? 4. When the coffee arrives, pay attention to your reaction: Are you excited about the coffee? Are you positively or negatively surprised about the coffee? Are you angry about the coffee? 5. Whatever emotions you feel, try to discuss your emotions with yourself as though you are talking to a young child, who is struggling to deal with his or her expectations and reactions. Remind yourself that it’s okay to be excited if you like it and angry if you don’t like it. 6. Also, remind yourself that moments like these do not have to be terribly significant moments in your life. Also, they do not tell you whether you are a good person or not.
