How to Deal with Self Criticism: 7 Tips

  • Do you ever put too much pressure on yourself? Do you compare yourself to others on social media? Today I wanted to share my take on how to deal with self criticism and overwhelm because I'm pretty sure we all do this on some level in our lives.
    After taking a break I've been feeling unproductive and a bit overwhelmed by all that I want to do but am not doing at the moment. Add into the mix comparing my low points to the high points of others on social media. I realize that I go through phases of feeling strong, empowered, inspired and creative, and dip into phases of feeling lazy, unproductive and low energy - and then I feel bad/guilty/disappointed about being that way. My overachieving mind always seems to make me feel like I'm never doing enough.
    Today's tips are some ways I'm learning to deal with this and rise above it. I'm doing better now, especially after some journaling sessions and meditation to bring me back to Love. Hope you enjoyed these tips, and can't wait to hear your tips too.
    // how to deal with self criticism
    1. Understand you are your own worst critic
    2. Embrace and honor your cycles
    3. Forgive yourself for being hard on yourself
    4. Take care of your body
    5. Disconnect from social media
    6. Reflect: What do you have now that you once wished for?
    7. Do something that brings you joy

    Reading your comments & I think it's so crazy how a lot of you say things like "this came at the perfect time" or "I needed this today" -- I'm always AMAZED. It's synchronicity (if you haven't heard the word before, look it up), basically the universe giving you a "coincidence" that's really a sign that you're on the right path. A sign that you're guided and protected.
    Anyway, I LOVE YOU & HAPPY WEEKEND!! 😍

    I feel like self criticism is a side effect of self improvement. Self improvement without selflove. If your constantly on your way to perfecting yourself and your constantly observing and analyzing yourself it's no wonder you sometimes get disappointed... I like the idea of the seasons and circles. Everyone should know that it's normal to sometimes be sad or lazy or irrational etc. But advertising and media in general tell us that if your not happy you're doing something wrong.
    I hope I got my thoughts clear because English is not my mother tongue!

    @mizpahjoy7798 6 лет назад +20

    i dont know if i should call it a tip, but every time i feel down, im sad, insecure, i always look myself in the mirror, look closely, stare at myself for a minute and say positive words; saying, declaring it with a brave voice and brave faith YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL, YOU ARE GOING TO BE A SUCCESSFUL WOMAN, ETC. it helps a lot because I am reminded of the things I always forget. at the end of the day, the person that can make you feel better is you
    ps: do this when nobody can see you. lol

But I am totally happy with it, even if it is stressful sometimes, to write with being a student, a fulltime and a part-time worker. But somehow I managed it, and it feels really great!

    Thanks Aileen. Your videos/podcast always help me. I have problems with productivity and procrastination, which result in self criticism, specifically about what I didn't do-- basically word for word what you said in the beginning. I'm aware of it, enough so that now if I start going down that route, I'm able to catch myself and let go, but still I think a lot of it is deeply subconscious. Hearing it from you & your delivery is soothing, as always

    At the end of the day, I write/say at least 3 things that I am thankful for. It just makes me appreciate even the little but great things that are happening in my life. Whenever I do that, even after a really long & tiring day, I end up smiling and being thankful for everything that happened that day, good or bad. :)
    Thank you for this very timely video! ✨

    Girl, I so needed this today! I’ve been having that kind of week and I know it’s that quarter life crisis anxiety that I’m getting. It comes in cycles or seasons as you mention and I know when I feel this way for more than a few days or weeks, I need to step back a bit and that’s exactly what I did this week. I’m trying to remind myself that it’s okay to take one step at a time, and to give myself grace. Today I treated myself to a day of no work, just playing and being present, and being off social media for a few days (except RUclips to get inspiration). I will definitely reflect on what I have accomplished so far that I wanted in the past, I really love that. ❤️ thank you Aileen for your beautiful energy!

Ten minutes ago, I've started changing my room and making sure that everything is on it's place and clean. Also, I wrote down a lot of your advices and planned a lot of things. I saw that a lot of people are saying that this came at the perfect time and honestly, this really came at the perfect time because I'm going through a lot lately and there is a real tornado in my head. Thank you so much for being such a wonderful person and for sharing your positive thoughts and vibes, you've really helped me a lot! Sending good vibes to you too!

    @cassinthecapital3490 6 лет назад

    Thank you! I have been enjoying your videos on life joy and really needed this one. I think it is important for everyone to remember when passing on “feedback” or criticism to others how much this can compound with their own criticism. This happened to me recently, and I feel like I have wasted five years on a useless venture; and I know that’s not what they intended. Healing, but getting out of my head was a big hurdle.

But hearing your tips have reminded me of so many truths, it’s been really positive to hear you speak on the subject. One tip to add is 🌸Acceptance 🌸 of the here and now. And knowing it’ll change, things will get better. Love your content. Wishing you love 💖 and light ⭐️xxxx

    Thank you Aileen for uploaded this video! I'm loving your tip on how to stop criticizing yourself from being influenced by the social media. My tip for not being critical on myself are to live in the present and appreciate the little things in life. I've worked as a nurse for almost 10 years and I have witnessed how precious life is from the beginning to the end. I have come realized that life is too short and if you're being critical on yourself, you'll be missing out on living your life to the fullest.

    Omg Aileen, I literally can not thank you enough for this. I graduated college a year ago and the struggle of finding employment has really caused my once hidden anxiety and self-criticism to bubble up. Sometimes its hard to find the time to apply for new jobs and be productive and it made my day so much better to watch this video and remember I've already accomplished so much. I'm definitely keeping this video in a playlist so I can watch it over and over anytime I'm struck with self criticism and anxiety.

    I never comment on your videos, but I always have been binging on them whenever I feel uninspired or just poopy about myself, and I'd always come back right on track! For the past four years, I've always have this cycle of self-criticism. I've always blamed myself and compared myself to others, even if nothing big happened. This video has enlightened me, and I hope I can make the change I've always wanted! Thank you so much Aileen.
    You have inspired me.

    Wow, that tip with the going through seasons thing is just what I needed. Last semester I was so productive and motivated and lately I've been so unmotivated and just, not as positive and productive as I was before. I've been beating myself up about it, but you're right. I don't always have to be majorly growing and changing. It's okay that I've gone into another cacoon right now, because soon I'll emerge even better than before. Thank you 💛

    The fact that I have freedom to live my life my way and have my family's support in this was my dream once upon a time. It was a dream to ever be able to make real true friends in life. It was absolutely frightening to see myself doing anything anywhere out there in the world. I am grateful that I'm living what was once my dream. Truly grateful to this universe.

    This really is a coincidence that I really needed! I’ve been watching your videos for a long time and going through my journey of trying to grow as a person and trying to grow as an artist comes with more downs than it does ups for me. My struggle to trying to prove to my family that I can be an independent adult and a productive person is both an inward and outward challenge. But watching this as well as all your other videos really clear me mentally and emotionally. It gives me so much power and confidence. Thank you so much for teaching me these tips! 💖💖

    Thank you for making this video!!! It is so important to not let the fear and critics take over what you want to do... that was my case. It took me a year to make a conscious decision that I want my life to go in a certain direction and take it in my own hands, meaning that things don't have to be perfect as long as we are moving forward.

    I wished to have a dog and three years ago I got my favourite little doggo❤️ Time goes so fast and I just remember the moment when I saw him for the first time. Now I’ve had him for 3 years and I couldn’t be more grateful for that. I loved todays video, because it gave me so much more confidence and tips to appreciate myself! Thank you for always making my day✨🌻

Your videos are really helpful bc you make me feel and believe that I can be as I want to and that I have the power of creating my Dream life.

    I really like number 6. I know we should always be grateful for the things we have, and I have been for the past couple of months. But I noticed that I am mpre grateful for the smaller things. I haven't stopped and thought about the bigger things I've worked hard to accomplish. Thank you, Aileen for reminding me.

    I really needed this Aileen~ it's graduation season and I've been feeling extra down lately because I won't be graduating from college this year as planned. Instead, I'll be taking a 5th year and even though I know that it isn't necessarily bad, I just feel so behind from my friends and peers that will be finishing up next month. In the past 2 years, I've felt like I've taken many steps back rather than forward - from doing poorly in my academics, to feeling like I can't even achieve what I want to do after college, and just isolating myself from others. Everyone seems like they're moving forward with their lives while I'm just standing still and being complacent. I hope I can implement these tips so I can start feeling better~ :)

    I love this video and want to say thank you for it! I'm a Christian, and I am training as a counsellor at the moment so this stuff should be second nature to me! But it is challenging, and just hearing it all again and hear it from someone else is so helpful. Thank you! I once prayed for a loving husband, a great job and a lovely home and I have all of these things now and am so thankful. Sending love xx

    Hey Aileen! Thank you for your amazing videos! I love them!
    I have another writing exercise for you when it comes to self criticism: Have a dialogue with your inner critic.
    While this may feel counter-intuitive, it is actually healthy to let that critic speak every once in a while instead of ignoring it all the time. What you eventually may find is that the critic evolves into another person in your mind, instead of it being part of yourself. Let them speak, thank them for their concern and then ask them politely (or less politely) to shut up.

    This was so needed. I'm in my last semester for my bachelor's degrees and today I got the results of my last exams. The results were pretty good, i did even think I failed 2 of those exams and my gpa went up 0.8 points. But today I wasn't happy, I was only thinking about my thesis and how stressful it is and how I should have studied more etc. Also in times like these when I am stressed out, I really forget taking care about myself and I get sick a lot. Thank you so much!

    I had this really down time earlier this year (or i guess it’s about to be last year) and I really want to change things for myself. I’m still a kid but I work in professional theatre so that is a time consuming and self-degrading activity. I really wish I discovered your channel back then, but I am glad I have it now.

    Thank you so much for this video! I really appreciate those tips you gave us. Some of them I've been practising for a while, but it is good to remind yourself those, for example gratitude, it is unbelieveable how important that is.
    When I look back of what I've whished it is so awesome that I do have those things now, not just things but opportunities which came to me. Just crazy.
    Just as you say in your podcast, ''life is an art, make it your masterpiece'', what an amaing view on life.
