Dale Carnegie advised to let criticism run like rain off the umbrella while we stay dry underneath. Ignoring the critic, however, may not be the correct thing to do in some situations because we may need to learn from his criticism.

Also, when ignoring is the path to take, it may not come too easily to some of us, because taking and giving criticism requires great tact and tact needs to be learned, as actions need to be trained and instilled inside behaviors.

In the first article, we looked at the motives of the critic. Now, let's view the steps we need to take when we face our critic:

We need to write down--as detailed and as realistically as we possibly can--our goals, our actions, and the words we'll use when we answer our critic. Writing down things presents them to us in clear and definite terms, since writing is like signing a contract. When we write things down, we know we are making a commitment.

We need to find a support group or at least one person who will back us up or listen to our woes. A friend or a colleague who is empathetic to our situation and who can listen patiently to us when we need to unburden will do wonders for our morale.

We need to take the situation with a positive mindset. We must not dread the next time our critic throws his goodies at us, but rather welcome the opportunity to put our plan and determination into action. To help do this in an efficient way, we can repeat some affirmations daily:

1. I stay strong when I am criticized.

2. I remain in control when I am criticized.

3. I welcome criticism.

4. I am able to use criticism to my advantage.

5. I will use the other person's criticism to build up my personal power.

6. I will use the other person's criticism to build up my self-esteem.

7. My answers to his words will exude my strength.
