How to deal with criticism?
Each one of us has come across a situation or a bunch of situations where people have criticized us for whatever we do, whatever we say. Situations like these aren't easy to handle and sometimes may lead to a more negative, depressed personality. Here are a few things you might already know or need to know if you want to know the answer to "How to deal with Criticism?":
1. Don't take it personally
Not all people out there take pleasure in bringing people down. There's more good to life than you know. Sometimes a person is criticizing the project you're doing and not you. Take some time to decipher the distinction and don't take it personally. For example, if someone doesn't like the irregular pattern of posts on my blog that doesn't mean I take it personally. They never meant that I have an irregular routine. It's better to work on yourself rather than working on what they meant.
2. Think
Stop and think for a while. If the criticism is constructive, what is it that lead them to say it out loud? Think about how you could learn from it. Ask questions if any come to your mind. You will not know until you think about what you are being told.
3. Say "Thank you"
Never forget to thank a person for sharing what they felt about your work whether you agree with it or not, only until it is constructive criticism. Being calm shows maturity and professionalism. Such situations make you a person to whom if life gave lemons, you could make a damn Cosmopolitan!
4. Act
Once you are done thinking, it's time to act and make things brighter! Perfection lies in imperfection.. That's true. But work is worship. Condition those little flaws and leaks that you think need to be perfected. Always keep your mind open for criticism. People have the right to talk and they will. You have the right to act, so you should!
5. Ignorance is a bliss
If you realize the criticism is merely a personal attack, try not yo argue. Better said than done, I know.. But it's essential. People will throw words out of their mouth without thinking how it would affect the other person. But you are the one who decides if those words are to get into your mind or not. For once, try ignoring toxic people and you'll see how adversely it affects you. You are your own boss, your own miracle. Work on yourself, embrace yourself.
You might already know the how to's but a push in the right direction, once in a while, does no harm! I hope you loved reading this article. Thank you for spending your precious time wandering on AMBARSTYLING.
