How are you all doing?
in this week's article, the topic of discussion is GETTING OVER REJECTIONS.
Yeah! rejections... We all have faced them in our lives and almost all of us agree that it is hard to get over them. For someone, rejection might be a NO from the employer's side when it is the case of job interviews. For others, it might be a NO from the person you proposed last week. Whatever might be the form of rejection, it unhesitatingly hurts a lot. It surely pains when you get rejected...
I too have been rejected quite a lot. I have been rejected from job interviews, from my crush and from many other places. Every time I got rejected, It surely incapacitated me in some way and caused pain to me for a very long time. As I went on, and continuously gave job interviews, I got rejected more frequently.
In this phase of uninterrupted rejections, I discovered some key points that helped me get over rejections in a quite easier way, and only because of these points, I was able to keep my motivational level up. I was able to keep going on my journey to accomplish my first job.
So today, I am going to share those basic tips that could help you get over rejections, and the tips that could keep your enthusiasm level up in the tough periods.
So without further delay, let's dive straight into it.
So without further delay, let's dive straight into it.
1. Don't force yourself to be happy... Let happiness come to you subtly...
The first and most important thing is, not to force a smile on your face. It is a very general thing and mostly all of us do this. Whenever we get rejected, we tend to make our mind force a smile on our face.
The main reason behind this is those quotes that we all have heard like, "Positivity helps you to grow, it gives a push to thrive more..." and "Happiness is a choice". When we hear such thoughts and know that we are getting sad as we have been rejected just now, our mind relates to them. Consequently, our mind forces a smile on our face.
But in fact, it's just an illusion. Using a forced smile to get a driving force to overcome rejection pain is really an illusion. I bet, it does not work well.
2. Stop self-criticism for a while...
The next tip is also as important as the previous one. Overdoing anything is always bad in a way. So when it comes to over-criticizing yourself after rejection, it will certainly end in making you fall in the dark hole of negativity. And one thing anyone may assure you of is that "negativity" is not going to make your life easier but it's the other way around.
3. Share your pain...
We all are humans... We are all wired to have feelings... It is human nature to have feelings. We are bound to have them. Pain, love, sadness, joy and every other feeling of ours, we need them. As much as this fact is true, this is also true that we need to share our feelings with others... You might not agree but we are hardwired to do so...
When talking in the context of rejection suffering, we really try to hide our feelings and try to show our tough-selves. But actually, to be honest, we really need to share to get over that pain and affliction. I really recommend sharing. For me personally, it has helped a lot.
4. Better stop thinking about your cons and start thinking about your pros
It's very usual for us to think about the things we think we are bad at or the things which are bad in us when we are rejected from a job interview or a love proposal. I honestly would like to recommend you to stop thinking about your cons. You should actually focus on good things in you and the things you are good at.
It helps a lot when you appreciate yourself instead of deliberately searching cons in you.
5. Do something creative or something you like
When it comes to getting over rejection pain, don't feel you are the worst in the world. Instead, I would really suggest you do something creative or something that you really like doing. It really helps.
When you concentrate your mind on something you like instead of the thing that is actually giving you cheerlessness, you improve your chances of getting over this sadness evolving in you due to rejection.

6. Always remember that failure is just a step towards success
My dear friend, none of the above-mentioned points will help you if you yourself don't think that you are going to get success eventually.
Believe me... Not even twenty, thirty or maybe a thousand rejections can stop you from getting that success you crave for.
