How to Handle Rejection and Overcome the Fear of Being Rejected

Attach a different meaning

If you feel experiencing a rejection, invite yourself to consider:

Is it possible that the deductions I am making about myself are actually not true?
Is it possible that this rejection is just an indication that what I wanted to belong to and be part of is not a suitable fit for me?
Could this rejection be a guiding rail to steer me back on the course I am truly meant to be on?
Could this actually be a grand opportunity to grow and expand into a better version of myself?

Find the blessings in rejection

In many cases, rejections are blessings in disguise. Maybe you don't want those customers that rejected your product.

Refer and direct those customers to your competitors that fit their needs. They certainly would not forget the lengths you went to. Such service is rare.

Feed your growth mindset

What can I do differently? What have I discovered about myself? What changes can I make? What will I do differently next time?

You Are Not Your Thoughts

Our life situation is shaped by the quality of our thoughts. However, most of us assume that we are our thoughts.

You can decide what thoughts to ignore in your mind

The only way to stop identifying yourself with your thoughts is to stop following through on all your thoughts ✋ . Instead, decide to live in the present moment—where you don’t have time to think, only to experience.

4 Steps to stop overthinking 🧠

1. Raise your awareness throughout the day.

2. When you raise awareness, immediately start observing your thoughts.

3. Only limit your thinking to specific moments that you need it.

4. Enjoy your life! Let go of all your thoughts about yesterday and tomorrow.

Motivation Engine in 3 parts

Core. Your purpose. It is sustained by two things: Having Meaning, and Forward Movement.
Support. What enables your goals. They can magnify the motivation core you have, or speed up the momentum that you build.
Surface. Any type of external recognition that might give you motivation.
