Dealing With Criticism

It’s just that criticism can really hurt. My biggest take away in order to protect myself is this: everyone is living in their own personal reality.
I’ve dealt with a lot of criticism and feedback during my journey. From loved ones and also strangers. Both negative and positive. I am always open to hearing and learning from a new perspective.
It’s just that criticism can really hurt. Especially when it’s coming from someone close to you. I know it typically comes from a loving place of wanting to help but it still stings sometimes.
My biggest take away in order to protect myself is this: everyone is living in their own personal reality.
This allows me to hear them out but also remove myself from the feedback if it doesn’t align with what I believe to be true.
Someone else’s feedback on you, your business, your appearance, your family, etc. is a direct reflection of their reality and experience. It really doesn’t have anything to do with you or what you believe to be true.
People only understand from their level of perception. Knowing this, don’t give someone the power to bring you down for being judged or criticized. Don’t second guess yourself. They don’t know your truth but YOU do!
