Today we’ll explore our relationship with praise and criticism, which can often stop us putting ourselves or our best work forward. Something Tara Mohr calls “unhooking” from praise and criticism.
Being hooked by praise and criticism takes a few different forms, each paralyzing in its own way:
1. Dependence on, or addiction to praise – causing us to do only those things that are likely to get us rave reviews and others’ approval
2. Avoidance of praise – not wanting to stand out from the crowd – even for positive reasons, which causes us to self-sabotage, to not do our best work
3. Fear of criticism – which causes us to not innovate, share controversial ideas, pursue interests where we’ll be fumbling beginners or fail along the way, or do anything that makes us visible enough to be criticized!
Our goal is to become “unhooked”, less dependent or not be controlled by praise or criticism and be run by our own wisdom, and to be able to use feedback effectively to serve us in our aspirations and not have others’ ideas about us distract us, silence us, or take us on an emotional roller coaster. Leaving us free to go after what the goals we are really interested in.
