Handling rejection effectively.
Throughout life we will be rejected in one way or another, it’s one of those things. Whether it be that job you re going for OR that girl or boy who is way out of your league!
It is natural to take rejection personally, especially if we are sensitive. We sometimes feel small, unwanted, and insignificant, and it’s far too easy to look inward for an answer, which is a cardinal sin I’m afraid.
We end up beating ourselves up and looking in the mirror at a overly large nose, bum, belly… the list goes on. The simple fact is; you are who you are and you are more than likely a nice person if you are feeling like this so give yourself some credit for a change!
Whilst it’s hard pulling you out of the frame of mind, it takes a strong person to do so, and as soon as rejection becomes a thing of the past then you know you have accepted yourself fully.
Q - So how do you handle it?
A - EMBRACE IT! So what if they said ‘NO’. There are 101 reasons they may have done so, and life’s too short to get entwined in all that crap! Take a deep breath and move on. If the person who has rejected you has done it in what you deem as a nasty way, then they ain’t worth it anyway… you are better than that and you don’t need the agro, trust me!
Try to think of Obi One Kanobi in Star Wars… once struck down he becomes twice as strong – this principal is true to life.
Treat others as you’d like to be treated and you can’t go far wrong.
