Focus on the positive.
Most of us have a natural inclination to focus on others’ criticism of us, rather than their praise. Criticism has more impact than praise. It hits harder, digs deeper, and lasts longer in our minds and hearts.
However, we can overcome this inclination by conditioning ourselves to take praise more personally than criticism. The next time someone compliments you or your work, don’t downplay or shrug off what they say; let it sink in. Believe what they say and express your appreciation to them for acknowledging your awesomeness. Challenge yourself to simply say “Thank you!” whenever you receive praise.
Inversely, when someone criticizes you, either view it as an extension of that person’s own insecurity (if given maliciously) or acknowledge it and view it as an opportunity for potential improvement (if given constructively).
Moleskin
This workout featured the return of Wort. After an extended absence, he still kicked ass even if he needed a few extra breathers. Running between bases was our rest, which Hobo certainly appreciated during his 10-count.
