#30: Rejection stings less when you channel your inner toddler
Manage episode 320696326 series 2808015
Rejection stings - literally (kind of). But you can make it sting a bit less. Part of what makes it so hard is that we're so keen on kicking ourselves when we're down. We don't even realise we're doing it, let alone how to stop. Your imperfect friend is here to sort that shit out.
You're going to learn:
- What makes rejection so hard
- How we make it even harder for ourselves
- Why toddlers are your new rejection-resistant role models
- A simple mental hack to help stop your inner critic going into overdrive when rejection strikes
