How to Handle Pain of Rejection 

Rejections can be disheartening and difficult to process.  Multiple factors contribute to this, making it a multifaceted issue. The fear of being turned away is encoded in our genetics.

In order to survive in an environment dominated by ancient predators, our ancestors had no choice but to rely on the strength of a collective.  It was a matter of life or death.  Our bodies and minds remain biologically programmed to feel pain from rejection – as it was once essential for our survival.

Our socialization has taught us to feel averse to any form of rejection.  Undeniably, the way we manage rejections as adults is largely shaped by any childhood experiences of neglect, abuse, or being rejected.

Let’s do this…

1) Begin an unconditional self-love journey

Self-love is a powerful tool that will give you the strength to manage rejections with confidence. Learning how to accept yourself regardless of your circumstances can be life-changing and bring forth abundant benefits. Allow yourself to embrace love and kindness without relying on others for validation. Make it a priority to put your needs first, as self-care is essential in leading an emotionally healthy life. Reflecting on your successes, deficiencies, and accomplishments is critical for growth. Taking the time to do so will have a tremendous impact on your development. To gain mastery over rejections, it is imperative to prioritize self-care and be kind to yourself.

2) Realize what actual power rejections of all sizes and shapes ACTUALLY have on your life

Rejections don’t need to have a lasting effect on us; we can choose how much power rejection has over our future.

It is essential to understand that strength does not come from the refusal itself but rather from how we make a decision to answer it. Therefore, it is essential that we become mindful of our reactions towards rejections and begin making conscious decisions in how to better cope with them.

3)Separate the idea of rejection from what your emotions are telling you it is and understand exactly what rejections actually signify.

Let’s dive into the depths of rejections and figure out what they truly mean. Rejections are invaluable learning experiences that can help us grow and develop in meaningful ways. Though it may not seem so in the moment, rejections can often yield invaluable wisdom and insight into our personal growth. To be able to move on from disappointing rejections, we must pay attention to our own thinking and recognize the underlying message of the criticism.

Rejections typically showcase the person doing the rejecting – not necessarily those who are being turned away.  It is essential to disconnect our self-worth from disappointments and devote time to grow and evolve with each experience.

We should never allow anyone else’s opinion of us to define who we are.  What others think of us is more a reflection of their internal thought process, which could include rejecting us.

4) Choose to always seek truth not what you perceive it to be true based on your preconceived ideas and world views

Analyze the rejection event with reason and clarity.  To gain a better understanding of the situation, it is important to consider both perspectives—yours and that of the other person. Approach the situation with an open mind and a willingness, to be honest. Avoid being swayed by what you may already believe or your personal perspective on life. Ponder questions such as “What could I have done to produce a better outcome?” or “How can this experience inform my future decisions?” in order to gain valuable insight.

Additionally, to evaluate the emotional well-being of that person.  What adjustments could they have made to ensure a different result?

We tend to judge others without fully comprehending their circumstances or perspective.  Our preconceptions of others can be easily distorted by our own mental inclination. To reflect on the power of perseverance, it is essential to not take setbacks too harshly and move forward understanding that everybody’s journey will be distinctive.

5)Choose the intelligent and proactive path in all of your decisions

To avoid unnecessary anguish and save valuable time, it is advantageous to make the wise decision of thoughtfully deliberating ahead.  Invest the necessary time to comprehend all issues, formulate a master plan and make proactive decisions that will help propel you forward. Transforming rejections into opportunities can be a very powerful tool for personal growth. View it as an opening to glean lessons, refine your efforts, and progress in life. To gain a more unbiased perspective, don’t hesitate to seek out the guidance and assistance of trusted advisors.

Taking proactive action is the smarter move since it will not only help you avoid unnecessary pain but also give you time to prioritize those activities that serve your needs and have a positive impact on your life. This way, you can create meaningful outcomes while working towards leading a purposeful life.

By taking the below measures, you can effectively manage rejections and use them as a platform of progression. Dismissals should not be considered impediments, but instead can serve as a chance for growth and progress. Invest the time to comprehend precisely what rejections are and how you can use this insight to your advantage.
