HOW TO DEAL WITH REJECTION

Rejection
What is the one thing that keeps you from being courageous?
 
You want to call a crush, speak up in class or at work, or just want to join the group and be part of something. What stops you?
 
Rejection!!
 
Ask most people what they fear most and rejection is at the top of the list. That little voice inside that tells you to stay silent. The fear of being rejected overrides the desire to act. How would your life be different if that fear was gone? Would you take more chances? Would you embrace more opportunities? Would you be surprised to know that fear of rejection can be diminished by the amount of confidence you have?
 
When we are self-critical we feel the pain of rejection more intensely. By building self-confidence and positive thinking we are able to limit the feelings associated with rejection. It is hard to feel rejected when you know how amazing you are.
 
Most people criticize themselves much more than they think they do. How many times a day do you think you are guilty of this? Now test yourself. When you wake up in the morning count each time you say something critical about yourself. Is the number different from what you thought?
