Nothing like a bit of rejection therapy to kick start the year

(Read time <5 mins)

My algorithm has made it it’s mission to show me other creators focussing on doing rejection therapy this year. It seems like it’s sending me a message, so I’m going to do it, but I will document it more on the blog, like in this weeks post.

When I wrote this post, I was telling myself I didn’t need to do rejection therapy as “hard” as the other creators, because I don’t fear rejection as much as I used to. But writing that post I had a revelation:

I have been limiting myself, subconsciously, from actually trying to achieve the things I want to achieve.

What does that cost me?

Everything that I could achieve beyond my ‘hard work’ mentality. I was raised that if I work hard, that I will be successful. But hard work doesn’t necessarily guarantee this outcome, on it’s own.

I want people to follow me because they find me relatable and connect with me. I can grind and work hard, and hope that my content is pushed to the right people. But with a little rejection therapy, I am pushing my name in front of everybody, regardless of whether they are the ‘right people’.

Is it worth it?

Statistically, most people will still not be interested in my content, but with the larger pool of people, I can find the right people faster. With all those rejections that come with this, I’d still get accepted by the right audience. So, yes, yes it is.

To gain more of an idea on how to execute rejection therapy, I recommend checking out this week’s blog post.

Weekly reflection:

If I get rejected - then I will realise that the rejection did not lead to the world imploding. (because being rejected is not the end of the world)

If I don’t get rejected - then I see how much I limited myself with the fear of rejection.

So, I’m going to take rejection therapy more seriously this weekend.😉

Thanks for reading.
