Meditate Awake

DAILY INSIGHT Who do you take criticism from? How do you choose which external doubts about yourself or your work to listen to? Brené Brown powerfully tells us that we should not absorb the doubts and criticisms of people who are not living their own lives with courage. If they’re not being brave, then they bring their own fear to the table. If they are not making themselves vulnerable and showing up as themselves, their opinions are not worth your time. DAILY ACTION Decide not to take criticism to heart unless it is given by someone you truly respect. Someone you respect for their own openness, vulnerability, and willingness to fail. It’s hard not to be affected by judgements — but you don’t have to be. Remember that most judgements are rooted in the insecurities of the person who is judging.
