How to overcome fear of being criticized?

“Whatever you do, good or bad, people will always have something negative to say. But if you aren’t being open to constructive criticism, you aren’t truly growing as a person.” — Unknown

It is pretty hard to feel all warm and happy on the inside when our Instagram story gets a mere two views in the past 22 hours, let alone the negative feedback that we get from our superiors! But to be successful in life, it is important to accept being criticized both personally as well as on the professional front.

How to Overcome The Fear Of Being Criticized?

This is how you can kill your fear of accepting criticism without even shedding a tear of sorrow.

#1. Criticism Does Not Mean You Aren’t Good Enough

Yes, criticism definitely feels like absolute rejection! Criticism feels like this thing is just about you and it is not good enough. But try to understand the difference here — rejection is what we really are scared of, but criticism is just a vehicle to carry it. It makes you think that you are not worthy enough and that you do not belong to the situation. It becomes like a fatally exposed wound which keeps aching time and again. You cannot handle the emotion of being worthless, and you may want to just might disappear. But, comprehend the fact that criticism is an external aspect whereas the fear is internal. You are enough, and you are worthy of each act that you do. Instead, ask yourself how would you respond and not react in the situation as a whole?

#2. Each Act Attracts Both Appreciation As Well As Criticism

You should always understand that admiration is not a permanent phase. Each of your acts attracts both appreciations as well as criticism. So, do not let that stop you from trying to do things in the best of your capacities. Learn from what people advice you and keep moving forward. Someone has rightly said that we would never grow up if we wish to ignore looking towards the other side. Everything that happens to us has some hidden or apparent lessons. So, always keep in mind that everything that is worth doing involves both recognition as well as rejection!

#3. Seek Not For Approval But For Improvement

This is the best philosophy to adopt when you want to overcome your fear of being criticized. Make sure that you are not steering away assuming the criticism to be a social rejection. Instead, make sure that you are drawn towards it as a cradle of insight. Start considering the positive and productive side of criticism rather than accepting it as a flaw. Help your own self in finding the newer you and do not focus on your insecurities. You don’t have to seek anyone’s approval but seek for the ways in which you can improve.

How to Deal with being Exploited at Work?

What Are The Signs That You Are Being Exploited At Work?

The most common method of exploitation seen at work worldwide is through not paying the workers enough for the work that they put in. If you think you are being bombarded with work whilst not getting paid for the extra work and efforts you put in, realize this mistake and speak up.

As a rightful employee, you are only paid for the work you are limited to do, already mentioned in your contract. If your boss is making you burn the midnight oil or forcing you to attend extra shifts, you might be a victim of exploitation!

Working overtime and getting underpaid goes hand in hand. If you are an intern, there are chances that you are working a lot more than you are supposed to, with the expectation that you must not speak up against it and accept what comes your way in the name of exposure. Exploitation of beginners and new interns is a very common sight at the workplace and you must realize your worth and not fall for this trail that you might get tricked into by your superiors.

We all are working for the money. However, one way that the companies tend to exploit its employees is through late or no payment. This is a sure sign of exploitation that you must absolutely speak up against. Keeping mum on matters like these will only give them the opportunity of continuing this behavior further. You cannot show that you are not getting affected by this as this is not just illegal, but something that you can demand with all your heart and soul.

How To Deal With Being Exploited At Work?

#1. Realize

Most of the time, naive employees, interns or new joiners don’t even realize that they are being exploited by their co-workers, seniors or boss, which goes unnoticed and by the time they do realize, the harm has already been done. If you happen to notice any of the above signs taking place in your work life, then you must realize and accept that you have been a victim of the company’s wrongdoings and exploitation. You can either talk to a friend, your boss or even take it to the HR in order to ensure that this never happens again to you or anybody else.

#2. Be Patient

If you are being exploited by a senior at the office, don’t lose your calm as it will only make you look as the bad guy. You don’t want to lose your respect for the wrongdoings of others. Give it a thought and deal with the situation calmly. Take it to human resources as they will further take the necessary actions that have to be taken against such exploitative behavior.

#3. Work Someplace That Deserves You

If you think that things might be going out of hand and the workload is way too much with very less pay in return, then you must realize your worth and apply to other places and look for a job that you deserve and a place that deserves you. Upload your CV’s on job sites and keep your eyes open for opportunities and companies that might be hiring. Feeling being used, stressed and depressed at the end of each day can take a toll on your mental health. Don’t make your life revolve around work as it is just a part of it.

How to pick and choose your battles wisely?

Battles have become the part of our lives which must be fought with grit, determination, and perseverance. One goes berserk when one sees himself or herself in the face of a crisis of any sort. Life is replete with ups and downs, and everyone has to deal with the battles at some point of life.

When you face battles, your entire strength at once goes for a toss. People get really perplexed as to what is in store for them. No one likes to fight battles, and mind you, battles are not just the physical ones, the category is much wider. There are a variety of battles that a man goes through- emotional battle, financial battle, family battle, relationship battle, work battle, to name a few. One must choose his or her battles wisely so that the situation is prevented from turning bad into worse. A little alertness can do the trick, not to mention with the support of family and friends

How To Choose Our Battles Wisely?

Human beings go through a lot in their life, from birth to death. The battles start from the get-go, our attitude towards our battle is what counts. There are times when we fail or lose our loved ones due to wrong decisions we make. It is not difficult to choose your battles. However, you must do it wisely so that you do not remain in the neurosis zone whining all the time. Here are some of the pointers which will compel you to choose your battles wisely:

#1. Know If It Really Matters

Sometimes decisions taken in haste go awry. People too, go astray in their lives when they cannot decide what to do and what to avoid. They sometimes are on the horns of a dilemma where they cannot choose anyone. If you are facing any challenges in life, and decide to tackle it head-on, just lunge forward and think about its impact in the future. Is it worth the entire trouble? Ask yourselves if the battle would hold any significance, say after ten or twenty years.

If you get your answer in the affirmative, you can pursue that battle without second consideration, but if there are doubts, you can forgo that battle and look for something else in life which is meaningful.

#2. Know The Nature Of Your Battle

Sometimes people just get into battles without so much as contemplating over it. There are occasions when people cannot contain their emotions and go the extra mile for fighting the battle. The battles which emanate out of your jealousy, pride, ego, disturbed emotions are futile. It is better that you take up different battles which are positive in nature instead of burying your head in a useless one in vain.

Why are Kids Picky Eaters?

The things that most kids shove aside in their plates are because they taste bad to them. While growing up, kids want high-calorie foods. Some people are more sensitive to bitter tastes. That is the reason your kid dislikes broccoli and bitter gourd. The growth of kids slows down after the age of 2. So they will have less appetite on certain days. But that is normal until the time they show healthy growth pattern. Also if your kids eat chips or have juice before lunchtime, they will not be able to finish their entire plate that day. Kids start asserting their independence when they grow up. It is a part of their natural behavior. So when they push away that plate during dinner, they are simply learning to say “No”. All of these apart, you should be careful if your child shows signs of allergy or upset stomach after eating certain foods. They might be having a medical problem due to which they are showing an aversion to food altogether. So, notice the pattern and talk to the child about it. We will be help you with deal with picky eating in your children.

If your kids love to gorge on pizza and burger, you should not worry about their health. You just have to think of some tricks of slipping healthy food in the form of their favourite snacks. If your kids tell you they want pizza, make one at home instead of ordering from the fast food chain. Now you have the control to put the veggies on the pizza base and cover it with the generous garnish of cheese. They will be enjoying their favourite snack as a healthy veggie food without even realizing. The same can be done with burgers too. You can fill sliced up salad inside the buns and serve it to the kids to eat to their heart’s content.

#2. Include Kids In Food Prep

Kids mostly do not eat some food because it looks bad or smells bad. That is why you should involve kids to help you with everything it takes to cook a meal. This way they will learn that it is not so bad. They will also feel ownership over the meals. They are less likely to leave the food on the plate when they have cooked it themselves. Take your kids to grocery shopping where they can learn the variety of food in the market. By being involved in the food preparation, there are better chances that they will like their food too.

#3. Don’t Keep Snacks At Home

How to talk to your Child about Crushes?

Teenage unfolds a new life which seems fresh, exciting with the development of emotional and physical feelings in children. Raging hormones bring about a lot of confusion, anxiety and the need of attention from the opposite sex. This is more than common in all teenage children if you think this might be a situation only your child or child’s friend must be dealing with. Most children develop their first crush by the time of 14 on average which seems to last a few months, commonly referred to as a crush or puppy love. Some experts believe that a person’s first crush develops as early as around the age of 7 or 8! This is a very natural and common process that almost every person goes through at least once in their lifetime.

#1. Understand And Act Wisely

Most kids fail to socialize with their parents, especially during teenage. It can be as confusing for the kids to cope with all the raging hormones, bodily changes, and shyness from discussing matters that mean something to them due to the fear of other person not understanding his or her feelings. Fear of rejection is very common at this age, and sometimes people carry this all throughout their life due to unresolved issues in childhood. If you spot any such signs in your kid such as getting attracted specifically to someone from the opposite gender, developing an involvement into romantic movies, etc., the worst you can do is get angry at him/her for doing such stuff. This will only push them farther away and encourage them to keep secrets from you.

#2. Spot The Signs

If you find him talking to a person from the opposite gender for a long time or if your kid admits to having a boyfriend/ girlfriend, listen to them. Ask them what this means to them and provide them knowledge on the common mistakes that kids tend to make at this tender age. They might take certain immature steps attending to their curiosity. Set certain boundaries for them and make them aware of the risks and complications they can get themselves into, both physically and emotionally. Above all, talk to them as a friend and respect their feelings.

#3. Listen

Pay heed to what they have to say. They might mention a specific friend from the opposite gender for more than a normal number of times and talk about him or her continuously without sparing a moment of breath. This is usually nothing to be alarmed about as kids are newly exposed to the feelings of love, lust and emotional bonding. All their life up till teenage, they expressed all the love they had in their hearts and feelings towards their parents. As their body decides to change or they come across puberty, they suddenly feel helpless towards feeling an attraction for the opposite sex. Sometimes when this infatuation is reciprocated, kids may get curious to discover certain things and fail to pay heed towards the risks it might bring along. They might think about experimenting with sex for example, especially if at this age, you ask them specifically not to do it. So try to remain calm and talk to them in a language they can understand, so they respond accordingly!
