Last week I got reminded why it was good that I let loose of my work and don’t identify with it much. And today, I’ll turn that into a short exercise for you.
Why?
Because a lot of your growth has to do with how you react to certain things. Like feeling hurt, shutting down, or getting angry when someone does not like the work you put out.
It prevents you from clearly seeing the problems with your own creations and being able to fix them.
So, take a few minutes of your time and imagine the following.
Remember the last time you did some work like maybe creating a blog post, doing some Excel magic, or whatever you do at work.
You finished it and showed it to your readers, boss or co-workers and they responded with negative feedback. They didn’t like some parts, didn’t agree with it or maybe they found a mistake or two.
Now, how did you feel in this situation? Which emotions came up and how did you react?
Feel free to reply or do it in privacy.
Next time, we’ll dive deeper into it.
