Lets Get back to Natural
Rejection is for your protection
Nature vs Nurture
Is it safe to say maybe we inherited and learned some wild things!
Ha, needless to say, we all come from different upbringings and may experience life deeply or on the surface.
What is deep?
Core Concept: Nature vs. Nurture
Nature: Refers to genetic inheritance and biological factors that influence learning, behavior, and perception.
Example: A child’s innate ability to recognize language patterns or their natural musical aptitude.
Nurture: Encompasses the environmental influences — family, culture, education, and experiences that shape learning and behavior.
Example: A caregiver reading stories nightly builds vocabulary and emotional intelligence.
So who are we really?
Are we just flesh, bone, and fluid with a bunch of neurons and gases clogging up the airways?
Brace yourself, you're everything, and everything is you!
SCARY RIGHT?
So you're saying I am the guy on the couch? (HE HE)
You are what every version you cling to, and if you cling to nothing, then you are nothing. So what if you stopped clinging and started to flow?
Our state will always drain out the noise around us or fuel it.
Look at your emotional state, ok, now your mental, great, so where are you?
Somewhere between hell and high water?
Our perception of reality is also divided up and presented back to us in ways in which we feel we deserve, not necessarily how the world expects us. In fact, most people are too busy with their own existential crises.
When you think about your life in terms of society standards, you will end up in one of two predicaments:
Satisfying others or satisfying yourself.
Who do I disappoint, or do I fail?
Ultimately, you end up failing because you will hurt or disappoint if you do not build the situation on balance.
Here are some tips to help you work through rejection
🌱 1. Reframe the Meaning of Rejection
Instead of seeing rejection as failure, view it as redirection.
"Rejection is protection from what isn’t meant for your growth."
Every closed door can be a sacred rerouting to something more aligned.
💔 2. Allow Yourself to Feel
Don’t bypass the pain. Feel it fully.
Cry. Scream. Journal.
Name the hurt without shame.
Emotional processing is necessary before transformation.
✍️ 3. Rewrite the Narrative
Instead of telling yourself “I wasn’t enough,” say:
“This wasn’t aligned with my highest good.”
“They didn’t reject me, they rejected a moment.”
Try journaling: “What does this rejection reveal about what I truly desire?”
🌌 4. Return to Your Wholeness
You are not incomplete without approval.
You are not broken because something or someone didn’t choose you.
“You were whole before the world asked you to prove it.”
🧘♀️ 5. Regulate the Nervous System
Rejection can trigger fight/flight/freeze. Calm your system with:
Breathwork (4-7-8 breathing)
EFT tapping
Reiki or self-touch to the heart center
Calm the body so the soul can lead.
So the next time you want to create a better reality, focus on the things you can manage: your emotions, Mental and spiritual sovereignty.
