Day 358 || Taking Criticism II || receiving

About this episode

How to handle constructive criticism without crumbling like a nature's own bar:

  • Breathe, stay calm, & just listen.
  • Imagine a protective bubble that allows you to listen objectively & feel safe (you are!)
  • Feel the feelings without reacting.
  • If needed: cool down, ask relevant & productive follow up questions, and take appropriate accountability without deflecting.
  • Reflect, apply any applicable notes, and be gentle with yourself in the process.
  • Get cathartic: release in a healthy way (journal, boxing class, therapy, vent session, etc.)
  • Nurture yourself extra hard for doing this work.
