How to overcome life DISAPPOINTMENTS and others CRITICISM?

Answer 1

Look at the source of who is making you feel bad.

Life always has disappointments, but the fun part of life is picking out the good moments and focusing on them.

Don't focus on the negative, negative people tend to have more negative things happen to them. Always try to look on the bright side. I know a lot of things that come flying at you over the course of your life are not your choice, but you can only do the best you can with what you have.

Focus on the good - not the bad, and more good things will happen then bad.

Promise. it works.

Answer 2

A way to overcome life disappointments is to not make the same mistake. That may not be a good answer.
On criticism , I have been told to take that and make what I am not doing or doing wrong into the right thing. Negative criticism can be a bad thing though. You just have to really evaluate what the person is saying and who the person is.

Answer 3

You cant lessen the pain that life inflicts but you can increase the tools to deal with it. Most disappointments are the "shock" value of never experiencing it before. If you spill a drink it certainly does not hold the same shock and disappointment it did when you were a little kid. So what you are dealing with is more your perception of the event rather than the event.

The same as criticism. Look at your perception on things people say rather than what they said. Don't give them power over you freely. When you have a grasp of yourself and your feelings, you can then examine what people say more objectively. You can then judge why they said that rather than what they said. Their motivation behind the criticism maybe more important.

Answer 4

I don't think you can OVERCOME disappointments. Life disapppoints you because you have expectations that were not met. Continue to have expectations, continue to get disappointed by yourself and others. Perhaps the gentlest and most realistic way, is to stop having expectations. Then what happens happens, and you deal with what happens, and not what you WANTED to happen. Sine when does the universe or another person have to do what you want?
In the same vein, the reason others criticize you is that you have not met their expectations. That is NOT your problem. It is not your job to fulfill other's ideas of what you should or could or din't do. Even at work, if you don't WANT to fulfill their expectations, YOU don't HAVE to. Of course, you won't be employable, but it is a choice you make.
Love yourself, listen to yourself an your friends who have your best interests at heart, and read and study. Think for yourself.
Try to expect less and do more.

Answer 5

If your motivation comes from within you, it's easy. If you depend on others a lot for verification and affirmation it is harder to overcome negative criticism. Positive criticism, however, is good and you should learn from it. You can often use criticism in the future to make yourself better at something.
Disappointments happen, but when they do, it's important not to dwell on them and to try again. Keep trying, don't give up. Focusing on your disappointments can sometimes prevent you from doing amazing things you are capable of

Answer 6

Put a bag over your head! Practice see, hear and speak no more; and listen even less.

You can also practice the reversal theory, by which you see a disappointment as a stepping stone higher on your path and criticism as road signs. Without them your glorious moments will undoubtedly have less shine. After rain there is ... Well the sun always shines but sometimes there are clouds in front of it, or the moon is mooning the sun. It's easy to feel down, just as easy to feel happy again. Just remember that any next time you're either happy or sad.

Answer 7

You have to consider disappointments to be life lessons. Sometimes it's hard to see what that lesson is at the time, but gradually, it comes clear. All you can do about criticism is realize that it usually comes from misdirected love. Is there anything in the criticism that you can learn from? If not ignore it and if saying how it makes you feel doesn't stop it, avoid the criticizer.

Answer 8

Keep your head up high. Don't walk with your eyes to the floor because people don't trust someone that has their eyes to the floor because you can't really know what their up to. Which is no good. Just think to yourself how you can better your life, thinking positive makes you do positive things.

As for criticism, take criticism but don't let criticism bring you down. Take it as a lesson taught and learn from it.

Answer 9

Learn to accept that all experiences are for you to learn something from.If you take what every experience teaches you and keep it with you at all times,you will no longer make the same mistakes.Don't look at them as disappointments and criticisms...they are opportunities to learn something else.Remember that "Life is a long journey,but a short trip".I have learned to look at all situations and people as another opportunity to gather information that will help me in my journey.Try it,it really works! The sad thing about not doing so is that you are bound to make the same mistake again,and that you will find yourself "disappointed" over and over again. Learn to expect nothing(but to learn whatever a particular experience is about to teach you) that way if you get what you wanted you will be pleasantly surprised,if not you won't be disappointed because you expected nothing in the beginning.Good Luck in your quests!!!
