Are you letting a single negative comment dampen your enthusiasm and affect your energy? Let's put a halt to that right now! In this solo episode, I take you through my personal journey of dealing with criticism. We all get them - those comments that can sting or even deflate us, especially when it comes to our passion projects like podcasting. However, remember that your work is bigger than one negative review. I share my experience in dealing with such scenarios and how essential it is not to let it define your journey but to use it as a tool to grow and improve.  Let's not forget the power of social media and the effect it can have on our mental health. Comparing ourselves with others, constantly, can be overwhelming and may lead to feelings of inadequacy or imposter syndrome. And here's my two cents on it - it's perfectly fine to hit that unfollow button, to take a break, to protect your mental health. As we navigate through the world of likes and comments, remember to keep your focus on what is working for you. It's crucial to stay on your path and avoid falling into traps. So, buckle up for an honest, thought-provoking discussion on dealing with negativity, staying true to oneself, and taming your social media experience. Hack: "You can easily limit all that stuff that's going on in your mind, all you got to do is hit that unfollow button."- Nate Navas Reach out to Me:Instagram: @thepodcast_docFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/nate.navasTake your podcast to the next level and book a call with me here: https://calendly.com/podcast-strategist/60min
