Have you ever felt like you're not good enough?
well...you're not alone!
I still remember the first time I got rejected by my crush back then in high school💔...
The pain was almost unbearable.
But you won't believe what happened afterwards!
uhm....that'll be story for another day...lol
Back to the matter at hand
Rejection doesn't give a pleasant feeling at all!…that's a fact.
And a bitter pill to swallow: Rejection is part of life!
If you don't face rejection daily, then you're probably not living enough!
The good part however, is that it doesn’t have to define us. And we can always rise above it
Here are 8 effective ways you can handle and overcome rejection:
The first is
Acknowledge Your Feelings: It’s natural to feel hurt or disappointed. Allow yourself to experience these emotions. Don't suppressing them.
Also,
Seek Feedback: Especially in professional situations. Ask why you were rejected the role or position you desired. It's perfectly okay to do that. This gives room for improvement.
A vital aspect to consider is to
Re-evaluate Your Perspective: Instead of viewing rejection as a failure, see it as a chance to learn and grow. Every "no" brings you closer to a "yes." As a mentor of mine always says: "NO" is simply an acronym for "Next Opportunity".
Be Compassionate To Yourself: As you go through the pain, remember that everyone faces rejection; it’s part of the human experience. Treat yourself as you would a friend in a similar situation.
Another crucial aspect to consider is
Focus on What You Can Control: Shift your attention from seeking validation from others to your growth. Concentrate on improving your skills or pursuing new interests that excite you.
Additionally
Set New Goals: Use rejection as a catalyst for change. Set new, achievable goals that align with your passions and aspirations.
It is essential to also remember...
Stay Persistent: Remember that many successful people faced numerous rejections before achieving their goals. Persistence is key! keep applying. Keep creating. Keep reaching out!
Finally,
Celebrate Small Wins: Acknowledge and celebrate every small achievement along the way. This can help shift your focus from what you lack to what you’ve accomplished.
Rejection can be depressing...no doubt. But it can also be an opportunity for you to push yourself and to grow!
You can transform your experience into a powerful motivation rather than a setback.
All that matters is your mindset!
