The Sting of Rejection
When rejection happens, whether it’s in matters of the heart, work or in life, it usually stings our self-esteem.
To soothe the sting of rejection:
- Accept the rejection and understand that it's rarely personal.
- Appreciate that you were brave enough to put yourself out there.
- Acknowledge and process all the emotions rejection brings up.
- Affirm your value and boost your self-worth.
Finally, learn from what went wrong and even when you don't understand why you were rejected, find something positive to takeaway from the rejection.
