Entertainment industry can be considered as one of the most competitive industries that you can find out there in the world. As a result, all people who work for the entertainment industry will have to deal with criticism. If you focus your attention on these, you would miss out plenty of opportunities that you have in your life. Therefore, it is important for you to have a clear understanding on how to ignore your critics in the competitive entertainment industry.
- Figure out from where you allow criticism to come from
If your managers or directors are not satisfied with your performance, they are provided with the right to speak about it. Therefore, you shouldn’t think of it as criticism. But if one of your friends or family members don’t approve the lifestyle that you follow, you should keep in mind that he/she is not in a position to criticize what you do. Therefore, you should have the ability to filter out criticism that comes on your way. In other words, you should be careful to accept criticism only from the individuals that you have provided the right.
- Always be objective
If you accept criticism, you should be careful to put that in a box within your mind. You should do this visually. You will only have to allocate a small space within your mind to store criticism. This is the space that defines you. If you do a mistake, you will be able to fix it and move forward in the entertainment industry. This would be similar to ignoring criticism because no negative impact is created on you.
- Say nothing
This is one of the most effective methods available for you to deal with criticism. If you say something against criticism, you would be embracing a lot of negativity in your life. The conversations that you initiate would go on dragging and you will not be able to avoid them. Therefore, you should ignore and say nothing from the moment criticism hits you. This will assist you to avoid getting into unnecessary conversations.
- Ignore criticism gracefully
If you don’t want to sound rude, you can ignore criticism gracefully. To do that, you just need to say, “Oh! I’m sorry to hear that you feel it in such a way”. From this phrase, you are telling another person that his/her criticism is not important to you and you don’t even care about it. By following this method, you will be able to ignore criticism gracefully.
- Say “Thank you” with a smile
Last but not least, you can say “Thank you” to the people who criticize you along with a smile. You need to throw people who criticize you from their game. By criticizing your work, they expect to make you angry. As a result, they expect to receive an appropriate response from you as well. But if you smile and say Thank You, you will get the opportunity to avoid it in a convenient manner.
