Hello there,
Thanks for the positive feedback on my article. I too have read the series of Four Agreements books http://thistimethisspace.com/2007/05/24/don-miguel-ruizs-the-four-agreements/ I have also blogged on neuroplasticity as well http://thistimethisspace.com/2010/10/14/good-vibrations-or-brain-plasticity/ As a Buddhist my focus is on mind training.

Thank you for such a helpful article. I definitely have a fear of abandonment for many reasons based on my childhood experiences. I love how you talk about not talking things personally. I am currently working on that in therapy. It’s also one of the agreements in “The Four Agreements” by Miguel Ruiz. It’s a powerful concept. I also believe in neuroplasticity. We can change our brain simply by our thoughts. I will definitely add this advice from your blog for my healing. Thank you again, timethief.

Fear of rejection can be paralyzing. We all need some good techniques to get past our fear so we can not be held back by our fears.

I can’t say that I don’t fear rejection. I think it’s a part of being human. We all want to feel loved and accepted. But I do realize that you can’t please everyone all the time. It’s a fact of life and I can’t beat myself up over that – I just have to accept it.

Nice post. I think almost everyone of us has experienced rejection right. Rejection might hurt us and could be really painful but we should always think that after that pain, we will also gain.
