47 - How to USE Constructive Criticism as FUEL for Greatness

Productivity MD

At times, it’s evident that external influences can significantly impact the way we view ourselves and our own values. It’s as if we hand over the keys to our self-esteem to those around us. When these individuals provide well-intentioned constructive feedback, it has the potential to exert a profound influence on our self-assurance. In such moments, we often find ourselves grappling with a sense of vulnerability and self-doubt, as if our self-worth is hanging in the balance, intricately linked to the words and opinions of others.

In this episode, Dr. Ann Tsung will guide you on the art of receiving constructive feedback and transforming it into a catalyst to conquer impostor syndrome. Through the lens of her personal experiences, she’ll equip you with the tools to not only uplift yourself but also emerge stronger and more self-assured.

Key Points From This Episode:

1.Impostor syndrome and the feeling of not being worthy.

2.Always assess the nature of their criticism, whether you feel that it’s true or not.

3.You need to forgive yourself first and observe the situation from a third-person point of view.

4.You have the power to decide what to eliminate and delegate/automate certain things so that you can work things out.

5.Instead of viewing criticism as a type of suffering, view it as a gift and a lesson in life.

6.The language that you use towards yourself is very important. Use words that are not emotionally strong.

7.Criticisms aren’t worth your emotional energy because there’s so much around you for you to observe and enjoy.
