Rejection. How WONDERFUL!

Listen, rejection is NEVER easy, mainly because our egos have a REALLY tough time accepting it.

And it doesn't matter how many times we think we've defeated our shadow's needs. When the rejection button gets tapped, all sorts of pain spills out.

BUT there IS A WAY to move beyond the ego's pain and find the silver lining.

1. The first step to getting to the other side of rejection is, FEEL ALL THE FEELS. Don't edit. Give yourself the space to let out ALL of the hurt feelings. Be angry, sad, and hurt without feeling you should "know better."
2. Take time to process and flush out all the "stories" that are running across your mental dashboard on repeat.
3. Bust out your journal and write out all of the things you want to say to the other person and describe how you feel. Don't hold back. It's imperative to LET IT OUT. Your journal is the place you can scream, shout, curse, cry your thoughts out. You may need to do this step multiple times as rejection can cut to the core.
4. If the writing isn't giving you the relief you need, there's always a way to express how you feel by using your voice. Go to a room, close the door, grab a pillow and literally scream, shout, punch, express whatever your body needs to vent. NOTE: It's essential to give in to the way the body wants to release the pain. No editing. No judging. Let go.
5. Once you've come to a place of feeling ready to move forward, bust out your notebook again and start a FORGIVENESS JOURNAL. Begin with, "I forgive (person) for X, Y, Z." Write this statement out as much as you need to. Don't skip this step. It's extremely powerful.
6. Then with the same forgiveness journal, write, "I forgive MYSELF for X, Y, Z." We must always search for the part WE played in the undesirable outcome. This step helps us to own EVERYTHING that shows up in our lives. Getting to this mindset of taking responsibility is highly empowering. This step takes us from a victim mentality to the Creator of our Reality!
7. Once we get to OWNERSHIP status, we can begin to see NEW POSSIBILITIES that did not exist before the puncture.

There is ALWAYS a great BLESSING on the other side of healing from rejection.

I would know. I wouldn't have survived the entertainment industry without experiencing lots of rejection. And I've made it this far, 25 years and counting.

My good friend shared a simple and effective way to begin the healing process immediately.

"Rejection. How WONDERFUL!"

This statement lets us know the silver lining is ALREADY there. We just can't see it YET.

With lots of LOVE,
