I thought it was so interesting to learn that the brain prioritizes negative input over positive input. I have always been a person to be very hard on myself and sometimes get stuck on negative things. It touched on focusing on the bad news over the good news which was also very interesting to me. I am the kind of person when given the choice to hear the good or bad news first, I always pick the bad. I think the HEAL method is a great way to focus on positivity instead of getting stuck on the negative aspect of things. I think this is really important, especially with our generation, and the way the world is, to not get fixed on the negatives.

Rejection does hurt. Rejection never feels good, and in this day and age, like the article says, rejection is more prevalent than ever. People can hide behind a tiny screen and say things they would NEVER say in real life, leading to rejection of somebody else. "The greatest damage rejection causes is usually self-inflicted. Just when our self-esteem is hurting most, we go and damage it even further." The best quote I've ever heard! It's really important to learn that mindset is a huge part of rejection. If you can simply have a more positive mindset, and a positive outlook, maybe the rejection won't hurt as bad.
