*Advanced* Another way to practice letting go is by not asking for others opinion’s of you in the first place. This might be difficult to avoid entirely, but for a week *beginner* or a month *advanced*, whether it’s at work, school, home, or with friends, choose to make statements about yourself. For instance, instead of asking your friends if they like your new haircut, tell them how confident the new style makes you feel. Try to actively notice when you’re seeking for and putting what others think of you above what you think of you.
At the end of the day you always have yourself, so no matter what happened you have to find a way to balance the external and internal judgments. Whether it was the best, worst, or just another average day, you can choose how it impacts you and affects tomorrow. Choose to see your strengths and use your self-love to outweigh the negative criticism.
