My 24-hour rule helps me process feedback thoughtfully. It's okay to say, "I need time to think on this." Waiting before responding lets initial emotions pass, leading to a thoughtful reaction. I view feedback as someone else's story about my work – their perspective, not necessarily the only truth. This helps detach identity and worth from the feedback. When feedback feels overwhelming, break it into smaller action steps. Look for the most constructive advice amidst any emotional or negative feedback. Feedback is often about the work, not your inherent worth. Treat yourself with kindness and practice self-compassion. Learn to say "no" to unsolicited or unhelpful feedback. Your mental energy is limited, so focus on what's useful.

I’d take a step back, sort the feedback into categories , urgent, constructive, and opinion-based and focus on what’s actionable. Instead of reacting emotionally, I’d view it as a learning opportunity, asking clarifying questions when needed. Taking breaks, practicing mindfulness, and setting realistic timelines for adjustments would help maintain composure. By staying focused on improvement rather than perfection, I can approach feedback with clarity and turn it into a tool for growth, rather than a source of stress.

Handling feedback requires a calm and open-minded approach. Start by taking a moment to breathe and center yourself before focusing on the feedback. Separate emotions from facts to understand the core message. Look for patterns or recurring themes that can guide improvement. Prioritize actionable points and create a plan to address them in manageable steps. Remember, feedback is an opportunity for growth. By maintaining a constructive mindset, you can navigate feedback with clarity and turn stress into progress.
