RachelThomasian4:11pm via TweetChat

@JournalChat I find that when people have low self esteem it is more difficult for them to list their positive traits #journalchat

JournalChat4:10pm via HootSuite

@vmusgrave I think if we feel an emotional constriction, it may have a false ring. If we feel open, it can be helpful. #JournalChat

RachelThomasian4:10pm via TweetChat

but today we have a different point, which is to focus on positivity for the sake of happiness and wellbeing!#journalchat

RachelThomasian4:09pm via TweetChat

i know that sometimes it's important to listen to what others tell you, in the form of caring criticism...#journalchat

JournalChat4:09pm via HootSuite

@RachelThomasian Do your clients have a hard time finding positive feedback? Sometimes you have to be forward with questions. #JournalChat

cherapple4:09pm via TweetDeck

Hi, Dawn. Thank you! RT @JournalChat: @cherappleHey, Cheryl! Welcome back to #JournalChat Live. :)

vmusgrave4:08pm via TweetChat

. @dredrelew True! We should consider all criticism and decide what is constructive and what is useless.#journalchat

JournalChat4:08pm via HootSuite

@cherapple Hey, Cheryl! Welcome back to#JournalChat Live. :)

JournalChat4:08pm via HootSuite

@vmusgrave In other words, it's an isolated situation with just that individual sometimes. #JournalChat

I believe if we start from a centered place of appreciation, validation & nurture,we will have a proper perception of ourselves #JournalChat

vmusgrave4:05pm via TweetChat

I think criticism often reflects the relationship and doesn't always apply to the other relationships we have. #journalchat

dredrelew4:05pm via web

@vmusgrave I agree Victoria! #journalchat unless it's constructive criticism but we must be open to hearing it

JournalChat4:05pm via HootSuite

@RachelThomasian I think if that is the case, it can be comforting to know that it isn't you. #JournalChat

JournalChat4:05pm via HootSuite

@vmusgrave That's exactly what I think too, Victoria. Since it's coming from their own perception.#JournalChat

JournalChat4:04pm via HootSuite

Sometimes it's hard to know what to do with criticism from another person; important to have supportive folks in your life. #JournalChat

I think criticism often reflects the person giving the criticism more than the person receiving it.#journalchat

JournalChat4:00pm via HootSuite

@RachelThomasian That's well balanced advice, Rachel. Constructive criticism can hold truth we can use. #JournalChat

@JournalChat I advise to seek their own truth, and avoid negative people, but also be open to constructive criticism #journalchat

@victorsachar That's cool. Growth with our personal perception and feelings about ourselves. :)#JournalChat

@victorsachar Victor! Welcome back to #JournalChatLive. Good to see you!
