Cope with Rejection \u2013 Part 2 of 3<\/strong>
\nTo Cope and deal better with rejection \u2013 the less it\u2019ll affect you. So how can you build that ability to cope? Here are some ideas:<\/p>\n

1) Be Honest:\u00a0 Coping well with rejection involves working with two things: how you feel and what you think.\u00a0 Let\u2019s start with feelings: If you get rejected, acknowledge it to yourself. Don\u2019t try to brush off the hurt or pretend it\u2019s not painful.<\/p>\n

2) Become aware of your feelings. Did this rejection upset you a lot? Or just a little? Cry if you want to \u2014 it\u2019s a natural way to release emotion.\u00a0\u00a0 Voice it, admit how you feel but don\u2019t dwell on it. Avoid talking or thinking about it nonstop. Why? Negative thinking influences our expectations and how we act. Getting stuck in a negative outlook might even bring about more rejection. It certainly doesn\u2019t inspire a person to try again.<\/p>\n

3) Keep Things in Perspective. Tell yourself: \u201cOK, so I got rejected this time. Maybe next time, I\u2019ll get a \u2018yes\u2019 \u201d or \u201cOh, well \u2013 next? This is what happened now and I don\u2019t like it. It\u2019s not how I wanted things to work out. Think about what you\u2019re good at and what\u2019s good about you. Remember times when you\u2019ve been accepted and had success, when you made the cut, when someone told you \u201cyes.\u201d Think of all the people who like you and support you.<\/p>\n

4) Give yourself credit for trying. You took a risk \u2014 good for you. Remind yourself that you can handle the rejection. Even though you were turned down now, there will be another opportunity, another time.<\/p>\n

5) Get philosophical:\u00a0 Sometimes things happen for reasons we don\u2019t always understand.<\/p>\n

I say some things are blessings in disguise and in time, I will realize the reasons why this happened.\u00a0There can be no fear in knowing ourselves better \u2013 our weaknesses make us stronger.\u00a0 Part 3 of our\u00a0rejection discussion will examine how to use rejection to your advantage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
