Benjamin
Franklin once said: "The sting of any criticism comes from the truth
it contains." It may, however, be difficult for us to take in these
truths because of the manner in which they are usually communicated.
These are great sources of stress for us in every field of life, such
as work place, schools, social gathering and in our own home. But, knowing
how to deal with accusations or criticisms may save you from a lot of
stress and mental agony.
1.
Don't be shocked or offended when someone decides to criticize you. While
it may feel like they are trying to hurt you, they may actually be speaking
with good intentions.
2. Don't take criticism personally. When someone criticizes you or is angry with you, try to focus on what you did or didn't do and ignore any generalizations or personality attacks that also come along. People can sometimes be vicious and insensitive when they are angry. If you put their viciousness aside, you can still benefit greatly from the feedback they are providing you. 3. If you don't understand the legitimacy of the other person's anger or criticism, ask them to help you better understand their point of view. As long as you are interested in what you can learn from other people's negative comments (instead of arguing against them), they will usually be willing to explain things in greater detail.  1.
Never take important decisions while under stress. 4. You spend a lot of your life on the road. Do whatever it takes to make the journey a pleasant one. The following attitudes may help make your life on-road safe and enjoyable: a.
Give other motorists the benefit of doubt. The slow driver in front
of you could be sick or aged. c. Listen to a humorous tape or radio station. d.
Listen to music that you really enjoy. Are
you stressed out? Quiz
