1). We are hurt by criticism when we ourselves are not confident in some aspect; when someone else's word enters our experience. And here it would be nice to work with self-worth, grow your faith in yourself, calm down your inner critic and learn to support yourself. 2). Accepting yourself and seeing your points of development is an internal conviction to yourself that everything is fine with me. I have strengths and I can do things very well. But there are those sides and those qualities that still require my attention and development. I could be wrong, because I am learning and have not yet achieved the ideal in this. But my mistake does not mean that I am a bad person who does not deserve love and respect. 3). Divide the opinions of others into wheat (constructive, useful criticism) and chaff (weeds, unnecessary); listen to those whose results you would like for yourself. There are people who sincerely want your development, so that you learn to do even better. They have enough experience for this, they themselves have walked a similar path and achieved results. They can be your mentors. But there are other people who are very afraid themselves. They are afraid that someone will become better than them and they will be forgotten. They are afraid that you won’t succeed and you will be disappointed. They are afraid that you will succeed and then they will be disappointed in themselves. Those people who, with their criticism, try to put you below themselves in order to establish themselves at your expense. Their words pierce your self-esteem like sharp needles, sounding like condemnation and rejection. And they tell you what they tell themselves every day. You won't succeed, you're bad, you're doing bad things. Often, their phrases are not supported by any evidence or fact. Let these people go. You can try to work with the fear of criticism through the continuation of the phrase. Take a piece of paper and a pen and continue the sentence with the first thing that comes to mind:✍🏼I'm afraid of criticism because...criticism is a negative assessment, how does it affect you?✍🏼As long as I'm afraid of other people's opinions, I can and I won't I can do/not do... sometimes fear protects us from some actions and acts as a hidden benefit. for example, “I would have started my own blog a long time ago, it’s very energy-intensive, I myself am afraid that it won’t work out, and then there might be criticism - I have every right to do nothing.”✍🏼If I weren’t afraid, then...what are you missing out on opportunities? When you look at this issue from different angles, you will be able to evaluate what you are losing and what you are gaining and choose the best one available. I want to end today’s article with quotes: ______ Work with the fear of criticism, evaluation; learn to hear yourself and protect your boundaries; find your strengths and reveal your potential even more - I invite you to personal consultations.
