541 - How to Deal With Criticism

Listen Later

In this episode, we look at how to deal with criticism from your loved ones. 

Why We Take Things Personally:

  • We depend on others for security and needs
  • When others do something that feel threatening to our security we can take it personal
  • This can impact our mental health by adding anxiety, sadness or resentful feelings

    • How to not take it personal:

    • Gain some perspective - can you see things from their point of view? can you ask clarifying questions?
    • Take some space to work though how you feel about the situation and to gain some clarity
    • Refocus on yourself, stay busy with your own needs
    • Dont "Climb Down" and be negative in response.
