6. USE POSITIVE AFFIRMATIONS
Instead of speaking negativity into your being, why not try the power of positive thinking? Positive affirmations are a useful tool to help you boost your esteem. How can you feel disappointed in yourself if you are constantly reminding yourself of things like:
•I am loved.
•I will accomplish anything I set my mind to do.
•I’ll get the job I’ve always wanted.
•I am surrounded by people who are supporting me.
•I will find the man/woman of my dreams.

7. FACE THE FEAR HEAD ON
it would help if you faced your fear head on to learn how to conquer it. Put yourself in situations where you know you will be rejected and feel those emotions but move on. The more you are exposed to the situation, the less impact it will have on you.

8. REMEMBER YOU WILL SURVIVE
Remind yourself continuously that rejection isn’t going to kill you. With every risk you take in life, there is a 50/50 chance of success. So, you have just as much of a chance of winning as you do of losing, but the only thing that will be hurt is your pride.

9. REDEFINE THE MEANING OF REJECTION
Perhaps the reason why rejection hits you so hard is how you’ve defined it in your mind. You may see being rejected and relate it to a horrible childhood incident, or it may trigger abuse that happened to you. You need to redefine rejection and come to terms with what it means to you versus what it is.

10. GAIN PROPER PERSPECTIVE AND CLARITY
It’s helpful to talk to someone else to help you gain some perspective from the situation. Maybe you asked a girl or guy out on a date and felt the pangs of their rejection.

However, it might not have been you that they were rejecting; it could have everything to do with where they’re in life. If you see the situation from all sides, it will help you put things into perspective and clarify things.
