My whole life, every time I am critized I get defensive. Today, however, I had a pivotal thought. People aren't criticising me or doing things for me to be mean or make me feel stupid, they are doing it to simply help me.
My husband has been telling me this for years and I just never got it. I always thought that every time he tried to tell me to do something this way, I was automatically stupid because I apparently was doing it the wrong way. I thought that everytime my coworker went into to edit a file for me she was doing it because she thought I was unable of figuring it out for myself. I now realize how wrong I have been. I now realize that she has been simply helping me out.
I think with this new realization, I can go through my day being grateful for help instead of defensive for being shown the errors of my ways.
