I have been rejected, now what?

For more people than it is comfortable to contemplate - what they find when they gather the courage to search - is a locked door.  Rejection.
 
It can feel like a knife in the heart.  It can feel like the end of a dream.  It can feel like the rug has been totally pulled out from under, and that it was all for nothing. At this point it is imperative for you to find the truth - much good has come from this experience!

When facing a rejection it is human nature to react. I mean that literally - we RE-act, instead of act.  We give away our power, we buy into the perceptions of other people and our ability to clearly see our situation for what it really is, becomes clouded.

To move forward again it is important to know what questions to ask yourself and how to use the answers.  Some critical questions are:

  • Is this a totally closed door, or is it possible for you to negotiate to have some of your questions answered?
  • Is this a permanently closed door, or does this person need more time?
  • From "their" point of view - why are they unwilling or unable to move into a relationship?
  • What are you making this rejection mean about you?

Answering the first two questions will help you decide how, or if, you can proceed with establishing more contact. But, more importantly, the answers to the last two questions are where you can find compassion and peace to accept the situation.

Your coach can facilitate you through some visualization exercises and the Inquiry process where is possible to unearth concrete steps that you can take to ease your pain and quiet your mind.

A rejection is never what was hoped for - but it can be used as a catalyst for great personal change - and self acceptance.  Remember, searching for another is largely a search for self.  That sacred journey can be completed with or without a "happily ever after" ending.
 
It takes courage, determination and the help of an experienced coach, but it is possible for you to turn even a painful rejection into a celebration of your life.  I would be honored to help you as you walk this difficult, but very rewarding, road.
