This article thought me that it is better to focus on positive feedback and really take advantage of your strengths, rather to than to dwell on any negative feedback you were given. I think that article is a real eye opener and it makes you think.

I then read an article called 'Why rejection hurts so much' this article was very interesting as it explained why rejection hurts us so much, and it goes back to the times of hunter gathers, it is engraved in our brains to feel hurt by rejection and scientists have also done tests which shows that 'the same areas of our brain become active when we experience rejection as when we experience physical pain'. This article also talks about how the greatest damage rejection causes is usually self inflected, as we instantly put ourselves down when faced with rejection instead of just moving on and learning from it.

I really enjoyed this task as it has made me think about feedback and rejections in a more positive way than I every thought I could have, so I am glad I done this task and have opened up my mindset.
