I won't lie to you... Receiving constructive feedback can be awkward at best and can definitely bruise our ego, no matter how well intended. How many of us avoid feedback altogether because we don't like feeling guilty, obligated to change, or even offended to have someone else's will imposed on you?
Feedback is essential to growth and success, but being open to feedback doesn't always mean you have to agree with or implement every suggestion you receive.
Seek out alternative suggestions, do some soul searching, and implement only those things that you believe to be valuable to your situation.
When you start seeing feedback as a menu of options for growth instead of simply the dead-weight of other's expectations, you can stop avoiding criticism and make the changes that will have the greatest impact your life.
