To win this badge you need to follow the five‑step Rejection‑to‑Belonging loop every day for a week. 1. **Name the feeling** – Open your journal and write, "I feel REJECTED because…". Labeling shrinks its power. 2. **Self‑compassion pause** – Place a hand on your heart, inhale 4 counts, exhale 6, and silently say, "I am still worthy." This quiets the inner critic. 3. **Micro‑social action** – Send a brief, genuine message to one person you trust or comment positively on a peer’s post. Tiny outreach rewires the avoidance habit. 4. **Gratitude/strength list** – List three personal strengths or three things you appreciate about yourself today; this flips focus from lack to abundance. 5. **Reflect and record** – At day’s end, rate your sense of belonging on a 1‑10 scale and note any mood shift. Complete all five steps each day and you’ll earn the badge.
