Many are the times we dread that moment of rejection. You remember that significant other who turned you down and feel like the Universe is crumbling down on you. Rejection is an awful experience that really drain us the energy to move on and perform our day to day activities effectively.
Consequently, never let rejection bar you from doing what you were meant to do. For you to successfully let off the bad feeling brought about by rejection, you need to shift your mind from negative to positive and look at rejection in a new light. Here’s how you can do this:
Approach the situation with open mind. No matter how nasty the situation might be, try to see it in all perspectives. Maybe the denial happened for the better. For instance, you failed to land that job you wanted so badly because you were meant to do something totally different. Perhaps, you got rejected by that significant other because he/she was not good enough for you or because you needed time to love yourself. Basically, get your mind to focus on the bigger picture and never let rejection prevent you from doing things that really matter to you.
Avoid beating yourself up. It is only in a free World where one can live devoid of highs and lows in life. As long as you are in this otherwise Universe, you are bound to experience highs and lows in life. How you deal with your emotions will make or break you. Never allow negative thoughts about yourself get into your mind. Rejection has nothing to do with your self-worth and whatever you were denied simply wasn’t meant for you.
Don’t try to control the situation. In most cases, when we get rejected, we try to fight back so as to get what we lost. Doing so only drain us the little energy to focus on the more important things in life. That which you were denied simply wasn’t meant for you. Therefore, the best thing is to let off control of it and move on to do what you were meant to do.
Be firm and confidence in yourself. Being rejected may make you feel inadequate and less accomplished. The only way to deal with that is through facing rejection with confidence and believe that you are complete after all.
Although being rejected brings about unpleasant emotions, it can be a wakening a call to realize that what we badly strive to achieve is not really what was meant for us. Therefore, when you face rejection, take it in a positive light and move on to do things that you were meant to do.
