    Demystifying the Fear of Rejection

    In this blog post the fear of rejection which comes naturally to human beings, has been demystified. This post has been inspired from Steven Pressfield’s book The War of Art.

    This is a commonly associated fear with many human beings. This happens mainly due to the intense arousal of our limbic brain which is responsible for resistance.

    Right from the caveman times our brains are programmed for this feeling of resistance.

    Hence to break the fear we need to face fear eye to eye.

    This would help overcome the innate resistance of our limbic brain as mentioned in the below insight.

    Overcome Resistance of Ego

    How to overcome resistance of ego?

    To overcome the resistance of your ego you need to make a transition from excessive self pride (I) to your divine Self in order to realize your calling.

    Ego is closely related to Resistance that is all pervasive unless we train our minds to realize a calling to leave a legacy behind.

    When someone realizes a true calling self pride takes a back seat and focus on leaving behind a legacy takes center stage.

    We realize a divine presence in our lives as against anxiety and depression when we are driven by self pride.
