4 steps to dealing with rejection or self persecution

You know that time of the year when we do a thorough “self evaluation”, to know what good and what bad we did in the year. How much we met our “New year resolutions”?

Well, that time is here. And it can play a tricky one on our feelings.

Imagine setting so many goals for the year, and realising you achieved almost none, imagine the feeling of rejection or in most cases self persecution that will come from that…

It is very normal to go through that feeling, but the question is how do we deal with that realisation?

 

1. Do not isolate yourself for too long: It is okay for you to feel like being alone or isolating yourself when you feel rejected or unaccomplished. But there should be a time frame for that.

Too much of anything is never good.

 

2. Get/speak to your care bears (People ready to listen to and give you a loving word or two).

Sometimes all we really need is a hug or two.

 

 

3. Re-engage yourself: Assuming the rejection/ self reflection showed you how much free time you indulged in. The fact that you don’t fill fulfilled means you are NOT doing something.

Re-engage yourself, start new projects, add something to your plate. Do more.

 

4. Re-strategise: So you got rejected or you feel like you did not accomplish as much as you would have loved to. Well that’s in the past. It is time for you to re-strategise, plan for the future.

If xyz did not work last year, maybe ABC will work next year.

 

However, ALWAYS Believe in yourself. Because you got rejected now, or didn’t accomplish all you planned to doesn’t mean you can’t make it…

 

Rejection can be seen as a wake up call, reminding you that you can do better!
