Summary
In this episode, we look at how to deal with criticism from your loved ones.
Why We Take Things Personally:
- We depend on others for security and needs
- When others do something that feel threatening to our security we can take it personal
- This can impact our mental health by adding anxiety, sadness or resentful feelings
How to not take it personal:
- Gain some perspective - can you see things from their point of view? can you ask clarifying questions?
- Take some space to work though how you feel about the situation and to gain some clarity
- Refocus on yourself, stay busy with your own needs
- Dont "Climb Down" and be negative in response.
