15 Reasons to Embrace Criticism

"Do what you feel in your heart to be right -

for you'll be criticised anyway." - Eleanor Roosevelt

Criticism can be used in a positive way!

Handling criticism well is essential for personal and professional growth. It allows you to view feedback as an opportunity to improve rather than a personal attack. Responding calmly and thoughtfully to criticism demonstrates emotional maturity and builds stronger relationships.

It also helps you separate constructive insights from unhelpful negativity, enabling you to focus on what truly matters. Ultimately, embracing criticism with an open mind fosters resilience, self-awareness and continuous learning.

Who Is Chandra Eden?

"I had been studying the self-development leaders for decades... and I still hit 50 struggling with deep, intense feelings of loss. Loss of control, loss of purpose, and a clear disconnect with the world around me. It was like I was in my own little bubble - just existing and not really living. Somehow I had become completely lost to myself.

It was time to do the work. I mean, really do the work. Do You know what I realized? I'm tired. I don't want to do things that are hard. I have no interest in adding yet more to my life. (it seems like everyone wants you to add more exercise, more date nights, more meditation, more, more, more!) I have enough to do already - don't we all?!? So I turned my own life around, then created a collection of courses to help others find their happiness too... the Easy Peasy Way!"

"When you're different, sometimes you don't see the millions of people who accept you for what you are. All you notice is the person who doesn't."

– Jodi Picault
