Ever notice how being turned down stops some people from trying again,
while others bounce back from rejection stronger than before? Everyone
experiences the sting of rejection, but mentally strong people use that
pain to grow stronger and become better.
Whether you were excluded from a social engagement, or you were
passed up for a promotion, rejection hurts. The way you choose to
respond to rejection, however, could determine the entire course of your
future.
Here are five ways mentally strong people overcome rejection:
1. They Acknowledge Their Emotions
Rather than suppress, ignore, or deny the pain, mentally strong people
acknowledge their emotions. They admit when they're embarrassed, sad,
disappointed, or discouraged. They have confidence in their ability to deal
with uncomfortable emotions head-on, which is essential to coping with
their discomfort in a healthy manner.
Whether you've been stood up by a date or turned down for a promotion,
rejection stings. Trying to minimize the pain by convincing yourself--or
someone else--it was "no big deal" will only prolong your pain. The best
way to deal with uncomfortable emotions is to face them head-on.
2. They View Rejection as Evidence They're Pushing the Limits
Mentally strong people know that rejection serves as proof that they're
living life to the fullest. They expect to be rejected sometimes, and they're
not afraid to go for it, even when they suspect it may be a long shot.
If you never get rejected, you may be living too far inside your comfort
zone. You can't be sure you're pushing yourself to your limits until you
get turned down every now and then. When you get rejected for a project,
passed up for a job, or turned down by a friend, you'll know you're putting
yourself out there.
3. They Treat Themselves With Compassion
Rather than think, "You're so stupid for thinking you could do that,"
mentally strong people treat themselves with compassion. They respond
to negative self-talk with a kinder, more affirming message.
Whether you got dumped by your long-term love or blindsided by a recent
firing, beating yourself up will only keep you down. Speak to yourself like a
trusted friend. Drown out your harsh inner critic by repeating helpful
mantras that will keep you mentally strong .
4. They Refuse to Let Rejection Define Them
Mentally strong people don't make sweeping generalizations when they're
rejected. If one company turns them down for a job, they don't declare
themselves incompetent. Or, if they get rejected by a single love interest,
they don't conclude they're unlovable. They keep rejection in proper
perspective.
One person's opinion, or one single incident, should never define who you
are. Don't let your self-worth depend upon other people's opinions of you.
Just because someone else thinks something about you, doesn't mean
it's true.
5. They Learn From Rejection
Mentally strong people ask themselves, "What did I gain from this?" so
they can learn from rejection. Rather than simply tolerate the pain, they
turn it into an opportunity for self-growth. With each rejection, they grow
stronger and become better.
Whether you learn about areas in your life that need improvement, or you
simply recognize that being turned down isn't awful as you imagined,
rejection can be a good teacher. Use rejection as an opportunity to move
forward with more wisdom.
