Founders

One side effect of running my own businesses for 8 years is when a not so great situation happens you're so used to getting punched in the gut a lot that your brain has been trained to just handle it as best as possible and move on. Otherwise you'd be at a complete standstill all the time

Glad that you are being kind to yourself and thanks for sharing!

writing fiction has helped me with this too, bc submissions are almost always rejected, but yesterday the gut punch hurt and i let it get to me. not giving up, but also trying to be kind to myself about feeling it so much.

As it should be! I call that rejection resilience

I bet many careers have their own version of this. I used to say that I was immune to getting yelled at after managing Sprint and Nextel stores.

Nothing can effect me at this point. Everything is just a step fwd. Stay optimistic, keep walking.
