DEALING WITH CRITICISM

I didnt have a good afternoon or evening yesterday as I (mistakenly) let my posing coaches' comments get to me. To make matters worse I then slept badly and missed my morning cardio in an effort to get barely enough sleep so that I'd be ok at work. I missed out on some much needed sleep on the weekend too so I'm mindful of this negative trend taking too much of a hold.

Oh well!! Just a couple more obstacles to get around...but hey...you cant say I havent had plenty of practice with that :-) Trying to look forward with positive thoughts and intentions again.

Cheers

Magda

You are probably feeling a bit more sensitive than normal due to those mood swings you mentioned earlier.

I don't think your Coach meant to bring you down or disappoint you, but was probably trying to give some constructive criticism, but perhaps not in the gentlest way.

Just remember... There would probably be only one thing worse than hearing constructive criticism and that would be someone not telling you the truth. You do need a pretty thick skin in this sport!!

The only thing you can do is your best. When you step onto that stage, the only thing that matters is that you are proud of all the hard work you have put in and how far you have come.

Stay strong and keep aiming for those stars hon xxx
