Recently I spoke about how to accept criticism but in fact criticism often comes from ourself and therefore the acceptance process is a little different… e.g. we can’t put up the question “how does my counterpart feel” or “why is he reacting in this way” because this is us… these are our own thoughts. But fear no longer, Tejvan Pettinger at the Pickthebrain blog wrote a nice article on The Art of Effective Self Criticism:
If you value your own progress, you need to learn how to criticise yourself. We are often eager to criticise others, but when it comes to criticising ourselves we are strangely reluctant. The art of self criticism is essential to learn ing from mistakes and gaining an improved perspective on life.
I absolutely understand that self-criticism might be the hardest criticism to discover, develop and work on. But handling it is definitely worth the effort as you can improve yourself in a tremendous way.
