Your friend commented about your attitude, your laziness, organising skills or something else! People talk behind your back in office whom you have always been nice to, and now you can’t take these thoughts out of your head.
You are irritated, frustrated and wondering how to feel better?
Make a reality check:
First make sure to check within, if there is any reality in the criticism gift you received. If yes! then thank the person (at least in ur heart) and start working on improving that skill or quality.
Remember you are a work in progress and all that constructive criticism is an important part of your growth.
Know where your power lies:
If you know for sure what others said was not true, do not lose your power by over thinking it.
Say to yourself out loud what others say or think of me, is none of my business! Period. Make sure you believe this with all of your heart too.
When you let other people take space in your head and your thoughts, they suck your energy and power away (literally!)
Never let negative thoughts or others opinions run your life! Take Charge!
Remind yourself of your strengths:
In the moments of feeling bad, take a deep breath and focus on all the good things you do, remind yourself of all the qualities you possess and pat yourself for all your strengths. Look in the mirror with smile and say I am proud of myself, I love myself completely.
The thing that really matters in this world is what you think of yourself. Nothing else!
Take energy vampires out of your life or energy space:
If you have friends who will always crib and complain about you and ignore what you do, it’s time to change your friends or at least create a safe distance with such people.
So choose your friends wisely and be open to change if needed.
Focus on the present moment:
Last but not the least, stay in the present moment. Focus on the task in hand with your whole body, mind and senses.
Just breathe and enjoy the moment. Be aware if any negative thought crosses your mind, let them pass without indulging and bring your focus back to the task.
Thought itself is not a problem at all, it’s when you entertain and identify with the thought, then it becomes a problem.
How do you deal with negative comments or criticism of people, do share below in comment section, I would love to hear from you.
