Any time I lived through a difficult or painful situation and came out okay on the other side, I can tell myself that it can happen again. I can use the history of times I survived the bad thing, or when a situation turned around for the better, as proof that it can happen again.

Please put one foot on the floor, and follow with a few steps. You do not have to WANT to do it, you do not have to FEEL like it, you just have to give it a chance.

I am not being rejected, it’s what I am offering that isn’t being selected, and while that belief doesn’t completely eradicate my feelings of sadness over the loss, it doesn’t make me beat myself up or question my worth.

Future oriented and excited about it
