There are so many educators that dream of working outside of the classroom, but something stops them from pursuing that goal: self rejection. It tends to not be the fear that others will reject them, but talking themselves out of the action before even getting a chance to try. 

I get it. It’s hard to put yourself out there and take a leap of faith on a new opportunity, but I’m here to tell you that you can! I’m sharing three steps that will help you recognize when you self reject and learn how to move forward.

In order to overcome your fears, you need to take action. My three steps in accomplishing that goal are doing it scared, celebrating the action, and letting others decide whether to move forward or not. I share how to acknowledge your feelings and determine when things are in and outside of your control, all of which will help you not self reject.

While it’s difficult, I challenge you to start reflecting on where you self reject and take the proper action and steps to overcome it. If you do, the reward far outweighs your fear of even starting!
