I have big dreams and loads of ideas. Even though I have talents, friends, resources, and the support of my family, there is one big thing that often stands between me and achieving my dreams. You guessed it. The big ugly monster, my own fears of rejection.
When I discovered Jia Jang in his 2015 Ted Talk, I was delighted and frankly a little bit amazed with the way Jiang was able to conquer his own fears of rejection.
In his humourous 15 minute talk, Jia Jang gives examples of how he embraced 'rejection therapy' and quickly got beyond his own dreaded feelings. By seeking out rejection - from asking a stranger to borrow $100 to requesting a 'burger refill' at a fastfood restaurant, Jiang desensitized himself to the pain, shame, and mortification we all feel from rejection.
When Jiang went to a Krispy Kreme to request 'olympic symbol donuts' he fully expected to be rejected. But to his amazement, his wish was fulfilled. You too can curb your fears of rejection. View Jia Jiang's Ted Talk to see just how this wonderfully liberating practice works.
