Cultivating Self-Defense

Artist Carmella Yager has some excellent advice about the necessity of using discrimination when we handle criticism and negativity: “I think it's important to become deeply rooted in who you are, so that when you hear what other people say about your work, you are really listening, not just being defensive. Then you can go home and you can say, that was a mismatch, or I can let that comment roll off my back or that really hurt or gosh, they're right.” We can listen to everything we hear, but then it's important to sort it out realistically, learn what we need to, and discard the rest. Not everyone is going to understand what we're up to. A critical skill for many creative women is discernment—knowing whose advice is from the heart and really meant to be helpful, and avoiding folks who pull you away from your intentions and may be trying to undermine your achievement.
