Silence The Critical Voices In Your Head

The first article I would like to talk about is:  "Silence the critical voices in your head". I think this article is relevant because it encourages us to stop doubting ourselves and to take risks. The steps to cutting out negative thinking when creating creative pieces of work are:

-Look for the positive

-Hear the positive

-Believe the positive

-Act as if it were true

I think this article is very powerful and it can be applied to all walks of life.

Why Rejection Hurts So Much

This article talks about how rejection causes us to become defensive and hurt when someone criticizes us. When in reality criticism and rejection can be the stepping stones that will make your work better. There are two types of criticism: constructive criticism and then of course the later. Constructive Criticism can be a powerful tool that will help us grow and will improve our work. In the article Mr. Guy Wich talks about some steps that we can take in order to take the sting out of criticism:

-Have zero-tolerance when it comes to self-criticism

-Revive self-worth

-Boost feelings of self-connection

I think if we all tried to apply these tips, it would help us a lot with our mental health when we receive criticism whether its constructive or nonconstructive.
