Comments on: Is the fear of rejection running your life? http://www.leadersbynature.com/fear-rejection-running-life/ Finding harmony through transformational change Tue, 03 Aug 2010 16:55:15 +0000 hourly 1 By: Beth http://www.leadersbynature.com/fear-rejection-running-life/comment-page-1/#comment-3583 Beth Fri, 27 Nov 2009 19:45:56 +0000 http://www.leadersbynature.com/?p=1588#comment-3583 Yes, this is so true. It's really hard sometimes - having assisted on the Leadership Circle 360 workshop (and I'm going to do the workshop in March when Art is leading it in London to get accredited), I can see that I tend towards reactice behavior they call 'Complying' - which means wanting to please or belong - at the risk of sacrificing my truth or my boundaries. For those of us who tend towards falling into this reactive pattern (and there are other types of patterns - we all have our default reactive behaviours!) - then the thought of rejection can be paralysing. Anyway, I've been working on this for a while now - and yes, it does get easier. It is freeing. I find myself recovering much quicker now. I wrote a blog a couple weeks ago about speaking my truth and feeling vulnerable. What I find is that is usually brings me closer to the people I do it with - if I stay and they stay with it. And actually - don't now have that many people in my life who don't stay - which is great! Yes, this is so true.
