    (Self Care Wednesday) 5 steps on How To Handle Negative Feedback.

    (Self Care Wednesday) 5 steps on How To Handle Negative Feedback.

    #CLPSelfCareWednesdays #CLPEpisode58 First, the biggest question to answer is why are we so afraid of #negativecriticism or feedback in the first place? If we know it will ultimately benefit us, why is our gut reaction to freak out, push back and react, or ignore it? Why is it that hearing “Can I give you a bit of feedback?” sends shivers up our spine? We’re hardwired to see #criticism as a threat to our very survival. You put your all into your career and take pride in your work, so when you are #criticized, it can really sting your pride. As you work to evaluate the feedback you’ve been given and implement it moving forward, so I talk about ✔️5 steps on to handle feedback. How you can be sure of what to avoid if you want to dig yourself out and emerge with strength and poise. DISCLAIMER I DO NOT OWN THE RIGHTS TO ANY MUSIC THAT IS PLAYED ON THIS EPISODE.

    HOW TO BREAK OUT OF TOXIC RELATIONSHIP PATTERNS

    1. Heal all the parts of you (including the part of you that stayed or wanted to stay).
    2. Find a licensed counselor/therapist: Check out Open Path if you are in the US & money is an issue [https://openpathcollective.org/].
    3. Explore childhood wounds.
    4. Make a list of warning signs/red flags for future relationships.
    5. Be gentle with yourself.
    6. Read books to help you understand your issues better [i.e., I realized I struggle with codependency issues, so the following books helped me: “Codependent No More” by Melody Beattie” & “Facing Codependence” by Pia Mellody”]
    7. Buy a workbook for self-esteem [i.e., I bought “the Self Esteem Workbook” by Glenn R. Schiraldi”]
    8. Accept help from your support system and friends.
    9. Focus on living in the present.
    10. Practice positive self-talk.
    11. Write out a list of dealbreakers that you will stick to in the future.
    12. Assess what your boundaries are [see below for examples].
    13. Go no contact with your ex.
    14. Fully acknowledge you have a pattern of being in toxic relationships.
    15. Explore what relationships were modeled to you as a child.
    16. Think about a friend or family member’s relationship that you respect.  Take notes [i.e., try to find a new “model” for a healthy relationship].
    17. Give yourself time to heal.  Do not date until you are healed.
    18. Form new friendships + build a social network.
    19. Reconnect with any family + friends that you drifted from during your toxic relationship
    20. Develop hobbies + interests.
    21. Learn how to trust your gut/intuition in relationships.
    22. Consider seeing a psychiatrist for underlying issues (i.e., depression).
    23. Go outside more + go for walks.
    24. Don’t be afraid to tell your story.
    25. Cut out people from your life that don’t make you feel good about yourself.
    26. Get some sunlight + go outside.
    27. Aim for 7 to 9 hours of sleep per night.
    28. Take care of basic hygiene (brush your teeth, take a shower, etc.).
    29. Get rid of any reminders of your ex.
    30. Accept reality + abandon the fantasy.
