YESTERDAY:
The Sting of Rejection
When rejection happens, whether it’s in matters of the heart, work or in life, it usually stings our self-esteem.
To soothe the sting of rejection:
- Accept the rejection and understand that it's rarely personal.
- Appreciate that you were brave enough to put yourself out there.
- Acknowledge and process all the emotions rejection brings up.
- Affirm your value and boost your self-worth.
Finally, learn from what went wrong and even when you don't understand why you were rejected, find something positive to takeaway from the rejection.

TODAY:
The Traffic in Your Mind
How often do you find your thoughts racing and speeding through the mind, creating chaos and traffic jams? How about creating a traffic control system for the mind?
Stop for a minute. Observe the traffic in your mind. Slow the racing thoughts. Calm any chaotic thoughts. Redirect negative thoughts to a positive direction. Steer unnecessary thoughts off the road, out of the mind. Park aside important thoughts and come back to them later. Clear the traffic in your mind and get everything moving and flowing.
You can set up a reminder on your phone to signal you to stop, and integrate these stops into your day, as many times as you like.

Sounds like a good idea to me. A new way of looking at things. I like the idea about parking. Some people don't know how. Like everything else in recovery, it takes practice, practice, practice.
. I will be back looking for Lin and others.
