Feedback is crucial to all of our lives. We desire for people to tell us what they think no matter the subject. We don't take the time to realize, however, that sometimes our worst enemy is our own mind. They we perceive ourselves is a reflection of our performance and they way we come off to others.

 

This was an important lesson I learned in the article "6 Bad Mental Health Habits that Sabotage Your Success" (found here).

While we do ask others to let us know their opinions, we must also keep in mind that our actions equally affects us. Someone may give us negative feedback, but how we decide to take it also is dependent on our mind strength. We can't make excuses for our mistakes, we can't think negatively about our future performance, and we should be confident in our own work.

 

Comparing ourselves to one another is also a detrimental action, because there really is no good that comes out of it. What may be our beginning, may be someone else's middle, as pointed out in the article "The Psychology of Comparison and How to Stop" (can be found here).

 

It's human nature to be curious and to compare, but this is something we also have a control over. This is where mind strength also comes into play. The energy we are taking the time to compare ourselves, and make ourselves feel better or worse could be better used to work on ourselves.

Just like comparing yourself to someone better than you makes you feel worse, we also shouldn't take the time to point out who we are better than. This just only continues to chain of comparison.
