6. What Can We Learn From It?

This is the area where constructive criticism is fully emphasized. Criticism may come as negative and really hurt our emotions, but there is still a need to ask yourself a very important question “What can I learn from it”.

This question will not only allow you to seek the good sides of criticism, but you will also notice areas in your work you need to improve.

Expecting good remarks from your friends and co-bloggers is actually not a way to grow. You need to look at the areas in your life where this criticism may be pointing to. When you have found them, you can seek solutions to them.

7. Not Everything Needs a Response

Most of this criticism may be based on a false premise. This might be to get you angry or at least bring down your personality.

This is why we need to pay less attention to criticism most of the time. There is no perfect person existing on the planet. And getting a little criticism will not make you a really bad person.

8. Reduce the Tension

When criticism comes in a bad or abusive manner, it can really be harmful to our mental health. This is why we must find ways to calm our nerves before giving back a response.

There are different ways to do so. We can maintain a better body posture, take a walk, listen to good music, or do any other thing that will help us feel more relaxed.
