Daily Comment

Looking at yesterday's Daily Comment, I guess the important thing is how to handle negative criticism.

I went through all the stages of grief on this one: Denial, anger, bargaining, depression and finally, acceptance. 

When I got depressed about it, I did a little mental exercise to release that feeling, along with any residual anger. Do you want to know what this exercise was? I allowed myself to feel really bad: Angry, depressed, a little desperate. I wallowed in that for about a minute, then made a tight fist. Then I asked myself, "Are you ready to let it go?" I mentally answered, "Yes". Then, "When will you let it go?" Silent answer: "Now!". Finally, I take a deep breath, and tell myself, "It's gone.", and unclench my fist.

I did this mumbo-jumbo twice, and, lo and behold, stopped feeling bad about it.

Which is when I reached the stage of acceptance.
