May 1 - Fear of Rejection

5/1/20251 min read

I think everyone has experienced fear of rejection at some point in life. In relationships, at work, or in our creative pursuits, we all worry about not being accepted.

We all want to be liked and valued. But fear of rejection can stop us from going after opportunities, or speaking up when we need to. If it’s really strong, it can make us try to change ourselves.

But rejection isn’t a reflection of our worth—it’s just a part of life. Every “no” shows us what may not be right for us. Or, that we need to try a new approach.

No matter what, a “no” is a learning experience - if we let it be.

Release the fear of rejection can help us gain confidence, resilience, and the freedom to show up fully in the world.

These affirmations can help us let go of the fear of rejection, and trust ourselves, with courage and self-love.
