8 Things to do When You Make a Mistake
The 'imposter syndrome' is something that effected me as a student for a while. Things weren't coming as easily to me as they were in highschool, and I was afraid to ask for help because then everyone would know that I wasn't grasping the material. Realizing that there were others struggling as well helped me accept help much more easily.
Why Rejection Hurts So Much--and To Do About It
Rejection is never fun. Self-Criticism is a huge result of feeling rejected. We have to come up with reasons why they rejected us, and it is always reflected inward. When I was younger, I learned to build up my self esteem by looking myself in the mirror and start to find specific physical things that I liked about myself. Once I started doing that, I would move on to more emotional and behavioral things that I liked. I would try to not compare myself to others, because that would not help at all.
Positive feedback is extremely important. Constructive criticism is important too. We need to know when we are doing something correctly and when we need to improve. Words of affirmation is one of my love languages, and it is how I best interact in social settings as well. When I was in marching band I would always try to take instruction and constructive criticism with grace and a willingness to learn, because it was the only way to improve and move forward.
