Show Your Work Part 8

Learn to take a punch

The more people come across our work that we shared, the more criticism we gonna face. Thus, it is important to know how to take punches.

Some tips are:
1. Relax and breathe as no one ever died from a bad review. We need to take a deep breath and accept whatever comes. Practicing meditation helps too.
2. Put out a lot of work and practice getting criticized a lot. The more we take, the more we realize that it can't hurt.
3. Keep moving as we cannot control criticism but we can control how we respond to it. Perhaps push it even further and make something they'd hate even more.
4. Keep it hidden where there is potential sensitivity.
5. Keep in mind that our work is what we do and not who we are. Keep close to the supporters, family and friends who love us for us and not just the work. In another words, stop caring what everybody thinks of us and only care about what the right people think of us.

Take note of feedback from the trolls. Block or delete in social media or perhaps turning off comments completely.
