The
more rejection pain that accumulates, the more you risk an over-reaction the
next time you experience a perceived rejection. Identify and acknowledge each rejection
wound and identify the protective emotion(s) that arose (e.g., anger, fear, or
sadness). Feel each emotion. Process it and figure out what it means to you.
Thank your brain for the emotion that brought you information—then let the
emotion go and move to joy. Avoid giving free rent in your brain to those who
rejected you because you then will continually relive their rejection. Make
sure that you are not perceiving rejection when none was intended. Past
rejection may have thinned your skin, making it more likely that you have been
taking things personally even when no wrong was intended.
