Rejection! We've all experienced rejection. Sometimes we laugh at it and other times it paralyzes us. Rejection and the fear of rejection for many can block happiness, creativity and the enjoyment of life.
Very few people are unaffected by rejection. This is why most people shudder at the thought of doing any kind of selling or sales process. They react to the idea of rejection before they even engage.
If public speaking is the #1 fear for most people then Rejection must be #2 or perhaps even a close tie to being #1. Sales Trainers will always have a clients providing programs to help sales people get over rejection so they can get to the sale.
But the fear of rejection impacts many people and most aren't in sales. Fear of emotional intimacy is typically driven by fear of rejection. There is nothing more painful than being jilted by your lover; a broken heart though intangible can have some very real symptoms keeping one from being open to love again.
Teens are very susceptible to rejection. Trying to fit in, worried about being liked and the need to be included in the right groups, getting noticed by the popular people and measuring one's self worth based upon social media attention can chip away at a teenagers self esteem. It can lead to depression, weight gain, drops in scholastic grades, isolation, poor health and even suicide.
Often referred to as being a "yes man" we've all experienced colleagues that agree with the boss to avoid being rejected only to find they are passed over for promotions, higher level projects and special opportunities they are actually qualified for. But, their lack of assertion, their disconnect with their personal power and their inability to form and stand by their opinion comes to sabotage them in the end.
In my new Neuro Science for Success Series, "The Journey of The Mastery of Your Mind" my co-host Richard Daniel Curtis and I have dedicated an entire episode to shedding a light on the concept of Rejection and provide some solid perspective to help you pivot into leveraging your experiences on a higher mind plane.
