TAKE YOUR WORK SERIOUSLY AND YOURSELF PLAYFULLY

When we take ourselves seriously from a mistake we made in our work, it creates this heavy weight that we take on as a burden upon ourselves. If you want to free yourself from internalizing the criticisms of your work, take your work seriously and yourself playfully.

To take your work seriously and yourself playfully means to look at painful opinions reflectively instead of reactively.
To take your work seriously and yourself playfully means to hear the truth with your heart instead of your ego.
To take your work seriously and yourself playfully means to handle hardships in ways that liberate you instead of wreck you.

If you can remain serious about the work you do and focus the energy on that, the criticisms you receive no longer become about you as a person. Now you can improve your work from a place where you enjoy the process including the failures and criticisms knowing you’re only going to get better. The action you took may have been a mistake, but you yourself were never a mistake.
