Overcoming
The Fear of Rejection
3 Steps to Self-Acceptance
Fear of rejection is the fear that others won’t accept us or value us. At it’s core, it’s the fear of not being good enough.
We tend to think about this fear only in certain circumstances, like when we ask someone out on a date. But it can be an underlying factor in our decisions and behavior patterns in many areas of our lives, without our realizing it. Begin to look beneath the surface of things and see where this fear may be keeping you from creating a life that fully expresses who you are and what you love.
Here are 3 ways you can begin to free yourself from the fear of rejection and transform your life:
1) Set an intention to become aware of the places in your life where you fear "not being good enough"
When we are fearing rejection, we are operating from a part of ourselves that believes other people have the power to determine our adequacy and our value. Notice when you catch yourself thinking or making statements such as, “I don’t want them to think…” “I want to make a good impression…” or “I don’t want to make a fool of myself’.” These types of thoughts show us where we are fearing that we aren‘t good enough.
2) Look beneath the surface of your own motivations, and see where fear is at work
Look inside yourself and see if you are fearing a negative response in connection to your family, in-laws, significant other, friends, or job. See if there are places in your life where you are over-focused on being “good enough,” or where you are unconsciously assuming others are superior to you. Recognize when you are giving others the power to define your worth. 3) Begin to live from a place of self-acceptance and empowerment
Begin to fully know yourself and appreciate yourself. When others seem to reject us, it’s really the subsequent self-rejection that wounds us. Let self-acceptance replace the fear in your life. Give yourself the power to decide what’s “good enough.” The people who “match” you will naturally resonate with what you have to offer, the people who don’t match you will never truly resonate with you, no matter how hard you try. Get in touch with the essence of who you are and what you have to offer. Replace fear of rejection with an unshakable belief in the value of who you are.
