Micro-post #173: A couple articles about handling rejection I've found useful (Basic Knowledge Stuff #19)

One of the main things I've been doing lately is trying to curb my emotional paralysis when it comes to rejection and reacting to criticism with defensiveness. It's going to be a longer process than ideal but I'm already noticing my confidence growing as I go ahead and not let myself worry about either of those things. Part of that is from taking notes in one of my journals from the two articles posted here for those who might also benefit from reading them. Neither is perfect (the one about rejection is a little too self-promoting in the Links section...) but they should be good starts before plunking down cash for a For Dummies book or two:
