I just received an email from the journal I submitted my review to with one word that jumped out immediately: Rejected. And another sentence: The Editor’s decision is final. Ouch. Immediately, all these thoughts come swirling around in my head. What if my review is terrible? It must not be novel enough, I must be a terrible researcher to have submitted something of such poor quality. Maybe I’m not as good of a researcher as I think I am. Imposter syndrome is shouting at me. My heart is sinking and I’m struggling to focus. But then the rational side emerges, quietly at first:
What failures have you faced recently? How are you overcoming them?
Happy Monday everyone, Audrey
