If someone says something that upsets you and you just can't stop thinking about it, put the comment through the filter of True, Not True, Maybe True.

If you get really defensive when someone offers you feedback, this is going to help you.

If you tend to own everything everyone says to you and beat yourself up for it, this will help you.
