this is brilliant!! the "who are you performing for in your mind" REALLY hits - oof. I've been thinking about rejection tolerance lately coming off a slew of rejections and trying to reframe instead of feeling like I'm chasing the wrong things... Rejections just shows you're putting yourself out there and taking a chance. Every time I do political canvassing, it makes me feel INVINCIBLE from rejection therapy, as terrifying as it is to start out. Thank you Michelle!!

Wow ok that is actually a BRILLIANT hack to improving your own failure tolerance -- canvassing for a cause you believe in! You care enough that there's something on the line, but it's removed enough from you that you don't take it personally if someone gives ya a NO. Loveeeeeee!

Eeeeek. I did something I’ve been thinking about for a year. That made my heart pound. That made me want to throw up.

I went into LinkedIn (anxiety 100000), and posted an open request to get catchup coffee chats with my connections.

What’s the full-bodied version of ripping off a band-aid??
