SELF- REJECTION: 3 STEPS TO HANDLE SELF-REJECTION
1) Identify the feelings of Self-Rejection (deep loneliness, severe hurt, fear, worry, anger, anxiety, shame, etc..). This is GOD’s warning system that HE has given us to alert us to when we are headed in the wrong direction, opposite feelings from the Fruits of the Spirit, love, peace, joy, etc (Gal 5:16-25).
2) REJECT THE FEELINGS!
3) Self-examine and Identify what you are believing i.e. I’m not going to be accepted, I’m not good enough, nobody cares or loves me… and Replace with TRUTH: I AM Accepted, Secure and Significant!
