Improve Yourself Instead Of Criticizing Others
There is nothing more exhausting than listening to someone criticize anything that moves. Living surrounded by this particular type of negativity makes us feel terrible because a critic’s words and attitude are like a virus that invades our minds and causes destruction.
It’s better to just distance yourself from critical people, because they poison us and make us lose our emotional balance. Peaceful living is invaluable, so we must not allow anyone to invade our physical and psychological space.
One of the best indicators of emotional poverty is dedicating your time and effort to criticizing others.
Happy people don’t speak ill of others
How much time do you spend each day listening to criticism? A little? A lot of? Well, it’s time to step aside and distance yourself from the situations and people that jeopardize your well-being and emotional balance.
Dedicate your time to improving yourself and your environment. This will help you in two ways: you will maintain a healthy attitude towards life and you will lead by example.
If, instead of pointing out other people’s mistakes, we occupy ourselves with correcting our own mistakes, we will achieve the highest level of emotional well-being that exists. So we must focus on excelling on a personal level so that we can earn sincerity, respect, humility, generosity and honesty.
We are not perfect and we should not try to be, but it is important to maintain a constant attitude of improvement that allows us to live our lives without submitting to the emotional states of others.
What other people think of you is their own reality, not yours
There are people who express their opinions about us, our lives, our decisions and everything around us. They do it even when no one has asked them to and they tend to be evil. Their sole purpose is to cause harm and devalue and bully others.
In general, it is people with low self-esteem who do not accept themselves, making it difficult for them to accept others. These people put on labels that reflect reality the way they see it and thus project their emotional problems onto others.
The unhappiest people in the world are those who worry too much about what other people think.
The Emotional Evil of Criticism
Begin to heal your emotional wounds and keep in mind that everyone is unique and exceptional. You don’t need someone else’s opinion to live. You are an adult who, in your own full power, can make your own decisions for yourself.
Make your own emotions and feelings count and don’t be afraid to think and feel for yourself. Listening to constant criticism and jokes can affect anyone, even if you’re not the one doing it.
Remember that with useless criticism comes great emotional poverty. If you don’t enrich your emotional world, if you live isolated within your resentment and don’t let anyone help you, you will become emotionally selfish. Stop this kind of behavior, keep yourself happy and protect your inner world.
