Benefiting from rejection
Every time our beloved person disconnects from us, is an opportunity to reconnect with ourselves. Treat every rejection as an invitation to accept yourself, to approve yourself, to choose yourself, to allow yourself to be You, to re-establish yourself at the centre of your life.
How do you do that? By allowing yourself a lot of personal time, for you, to do things which you love, enjoy and which gladden you. By going quiet and silent and listening to your heart, and establishing a connection with your heart and your body. By asking your heart and body questions: “Heart, what will make you feel better today, what will gladden you? Body, what do you want to do today, what will make you glad and happy”. And then following through with their answers no matter what. By trusting the answers of your heart and body, and knowing that these answers come from a sacred place, and they are not just whims of the inner child. This listening to your heart and body, is the foundation of your relationship with yourself. You cannot relate to other people well if you do not relate well with yourself. Every rejection, every disconnection from another person, is an opportunity to strengthen our relationship with ourselves in the most gentle, the most loving, the most caring way. Every love begins with self-love, and every rejection is symptomatic of a neglected love for ourselves. A person who is up-to-date on loving themselves, is the person who gets the love from the external world.
