NOtivational Quote

Happy April!

In honor of baseball season beginning this month, an interesting quote to think about from legendary player, Mickey Mantle.

“During my 18 years (in the majors) I came to bat almost 10,000 times. I struck out about 1,700 times and I walked maybe 1,800 times. You figure a ballplayer will average about 500 at-bats a season. That means I played seven seasons without hitting the ball.”

If you are interested in a 21 Day Go for No Challenge, be sure to jump in now while we have spaces available, details below.

Enjoy your NOtivation...

Answering the "Rejection" Question

by Andrea Waltz

When you get a rejection there's a question your mind asks.

Answering it correctly is the key to how you tend to react and respond.

And from there, the outcome or result.

Your brain loves to solve problems.

It's why when we "sleep on something" we often wake up with a better understanding and a way to solve the problem.

Your brain was working on it all night while you slept.

So, the question your mind asks when you get rejected is, "What does this mean?"

As far as your brain is concerned, what this means you have a serious problem and it wants to protect you.

So, historically (evolutionarily speaking) the answer your brain gives you is NOT good. It's something like…

This is a total disaster.
You're in deep trouble.
Please stop getting rejected, it's bad for you.
You're probably going to die now.

Change these answers in your own mind to something else. There's no "perfect" script but it doesn't involve your imminent demise.

Instead for example…

"That's okay, it's part of the process."
"Nos happen to people who put themselves out there."
"I'm awesome and I'm not giving up!"
"Another no. I'm going to try again but in a new way."

The way you answer this question in your mind, informs what you do next and your outcomes.

When you change your response, even if you become a little down or discouraged, you won’t give up. You won’t quit.

And, you’ll stop fearing rejection because you’ll no longer think of it as the end of your world.

And that’s the key.

The more positive, calm, and forward-thinking your response to this question, the better results you will get over time.

Will it happen overnight? It's a process. And it requires practice. But it absolutely can be done because you can train your brain to think about rejection differently.
