How to Move Past Feeling Rejected in Your Career

When you’re feeling rejected because of a failing job search or an inability to get ahead at work, it can be hard to stay positive about your situation.

By coaching yourself through the difficult moments, you can readjust your perspective and train your mind to make the most out of your current circumstance. By doing this, you’re essentially learning a new way to think and live in the world - a way that will help you reach your goals.

Here are four powerful questions to start this retraining process:

1. How else can I look at this situation? Right now, I see X, but is it possible that there is a Y or a Z? For this question, I challenge you to really stretch and try to see ANY other possible way to look at your situation.


2. How can I grow from this situation? Where is the opportunity? One of the most important keys to retraining your brain is to start looking for the opportunity in every single situation. Lost your job? Great! An awesome reason to start that business you’ve been dreaming about. Fighting with your spouse? What a terrific opportunity to practice some new communication skills. See how that works?


3. What do you think this situation means about you as a person and how can you let go of that belief? Let’s say you lost your job and now you feel like a failure. How can you move past feeling like a failure, and start believing you are a winner? What needs to happen so you can think of yourself in a more positive light?


4. What do you want your new story to be? We all have different stories we tell about ourselves, our pasts and our lives. For example, some people say they aren’t good at relationships, while others say they aren’t organized people. These are things we believe about ourselves because we’ve seen evidence in the past to back them up. Today, I challenge you to look past your old beliefs, and think about what you want your new story to be.
