subject: Law Of Attraction And Learning To Take Life Less Seriously [print this page] When it comes to taking criticism, it never seems to be easy, doesn't it? Let's face it, there are a myriad of other things we'd rather be told... Though you may be willing to hear where you could have done better, there is that little feeling inside that somewhat 'tickles' your emotions, right?
You may want to keep in mind that criticism doesn't always have to be negative either.
There are 'ways' to talk to someone and give them a little bit of feedback, preferably, not in an upsetting or hurtful way; yet people may still feel the need to get defensive. You will need to look at the true reason behind the criticism and you will need to learn how to find the benefits of the criticism so that you can still keep your mind focused on the Law of Attraction, and hopefully, shed some light on some of the areas of improvement that you could be bringing on board..
You may also want to take into consideration that you will need to learn how to accept criticism graciously and learn how to use it to your advantage and using it in a positive manner. You will find that criticism will help you to come closer to your goals, because everyone needs to have the perspective of others to bring back reality into focus. You need to accept the fact that valuable feedback will give you many opportunities to improve; it is all for the better.
Another way to using the Law of Attraction and handling the criticism is that you need to be facing it head on, instead of allowing the negative feelings to wallow. Take everything as a way that you can improve yourself, but also at the same time, consider the source. When you find yourself in a corner where you feel like you are being attacked, then you might want to take a step back and use some of the following tips so that you can keep your positive attitude towards the Law of Attraction.
First, you may need to pause what they are saying (especially if it is hurtful) and ask for them to use facts and not feelings in their reasoning. You will find that the minute that you ask for proof in the numbers, then you will find the motivation behind the criticism. You will find out if the source is trying to help or just trying to bring you down.
Also, you need to learn how to listen with your brain and not with your heart and emotions. You need to use words like "I think" and not "I feel", because for those who allow their emotions to run high only end up in the middle of a huge agreement, instead of a constructive discussion.
Also, be a big of enough person to admit when you are wrong. When you know that you are flawed or that you have just made an error in judgment, then you need to own the wrongs to right them. This is something that you should keep in mind for life in general. Once you know that you have messed up, you then need to be confident enough to own the mistake and take corrective action so that you can improve your skills and abilities, but also so that you can keep on the positive path.
Even though there are going to be times where the criticism may seem out of hand and very discouraging, you need to 'learn how to make lemonade' with this sourness, so to speak. You will also want to make sure that you take in consideration that there may be a lot behind the criticism that has nothing to do with you.
You also need to be aware of other people's feelings, even when others are not considerate towards your feelings. Even though it is hard to accept the negative responses, it doesn't mean that you have to react in a negative way.
