CRITICISM (How To Give and Take Feedback) - Teal Swan -

Negative criticism, which is what we will be focusing on in this episode, is when we critique something and disapprove of it based on the faults or mistakes that we perceive in it. But we need feedback. Our growth and awareness is dependent on it. So it is best to think of feedback as belonging to two distinct camps. The first is criticism. The second is sharing your individual and honest perspective or experience. In this episode, Teal explains criticism in depth as well as why people criticize one another and then, she explains how to give feedback in a healthy way and also what to do in order to stop criticizing.

The collective consciousness of mankind has been evolving in it’s own right over the course of history. We have seen many dark ages and many awakenings. And today, we are in the middle of the Emotional Dark Age. Most people on earth do not understand emotions; they are not terribly conscious of them, they do not know what function they serve, they do not know what to do with them. This is a serious problem considering that emotions are the very basis of every person’s life experience. Part of this emotional ignorance is a thing called emotional neglect. It is so widespread that it is literally the great epidemic within society today. In this episode, Teal discusses emotional neglect as well as what to do if you have suffered from this epidemic yourself.

Thank you. My 4 year old decided she was tired of her name and wants to be called "Snowflake" - I have been telling her that her feelings are important and always right. I agreed to call her "Snowflake" because when I was her age I wanted to change my name and nobody took me seriously, and I knew how that felt. I wanted her to learn something from this...and I ended up learning something too. I was in a room full of ADULTS telling a 4 year old is NOT a real name. ADULTS trying to make a 4 year old validate THEIR reality and give up her's, saying, "That's just silly, it's not a real name" - but I used it as a lesson to teach her that they are just insecure and don't know how to ask her if they can just call her by her birth name instead because they won't remember, or whatever the deal was. Sometimes kids just want to play and have make believe but adults can be so rigid and criticize over the smallest things instead of just entertaining kids once and a while. But then they want kids to believe in Santa Clause at Christmas time... they want to control a child's make believe and belief

1:45 Criticisms can literally feel like a threat to your survival 4:03, 6:50 criticism vibration chokehold, 8:47, 9:24, 10:23 softer delivery 14:37 Techniques 15:00 & sandwich appraisal, end on a positive note 16:26 try it out on you self 16:43 is your mind friend or foe? 17:32 recognize receptivity and invitation from others 18:50 if it is sharing a negative one- seek to understand than to assert your corrective opinion 19:45 criticism dripping in projection. 20:09 sharing a perspective can be the thing that imprisons or frees

I really like Teal. She's sharp. This really makes a lot of sense.

[Lameesha]

Ms Teal- you have helped me alot- I often come to times where I just don't want to take anything in or emotionally evolve so I take a break and always end up coming back to your videos.

Beloved child,

I see the pain and the hurt that you carry within your heart.
I see the tears that you have shed,
and I am moved with compassion for you.

I want to heal your broken heart
and to bind up all your wounds.
I want to restore the joy of your salvation
and to give you a garment of praise,
instead of a spirit of despair.

I want to comfort you and bring you peace
in the midst of your storms.

I understand the struggles and the challenges that you face in this life.
I know the temptations and the trials that you endure.

I will never leave you nor forsake you.

I am your refuge and your strength,
an ever-present help in times of trouble.

I want you to know that I have great plans for your life.

I want to use you to touch the lives of others,
to bring healing and hope to the brokenhearted,
and to set the captives free.

I want to use you to bring light into the darkness,
and to be a beacon of hope to a lost and dying world.

My child,

I want you to know that My love for you is unconditional and unchanging.
I want you to know that you are My beloved child, and that I delight in you.
I want you to know that you are precious in My sight,
and that you are more valuable to Me
than the finest gold and the most precious jewels...

I want you to know that I rejoice over you with singing.
I want you to know that I am always with you,
and that I will never leave you nor forsake you.

I want you to know that I am your constant companion,
and that I will guide you and direct your steps.

I want you to know that I will give you the wisdom and the understanding that you need
to navigate the challenges of this life.

I want you to know that I am the God of all comfort,
and that I will comfort you in all your troubles.

I want you to know that I am the God who heals you,
who binds up your wounds, and who sets you free
from the bondage of sin and its consequences.

I want you to know that I am the God who restores you when you have gone astray,
and who brings you back into the fold of My love.

I want you to know that I am the God who gives you the desires of your heart
when they are in alignment with My will and My purposes.

I want you to know that I am the God who blesses you abundantly,
and that I am a God of more than enough.

My child,

I want you to trust in Me with all your heart,
and to lean not on your own understanding.

In all your ways acknowledge Me,
and I will make your paths straight.
I will guide you with My eye,
and I will lead you to the place I have prepared for you...

I will never leave you nor forsake you.

With all My love,
God.

Quick suggestion; links to all the other suggested relative topic videos would be an amazing, wonderful addendum to have at the ready. I habitually hunt back through videos for those but the thought of a little list of links in the description box just makes me happy. Thanx.

[PA-tujg]

attitude of curiosity instead of certainty.. there was so much good information in this video but this sentence hit me the most. Thank you Teal ❤

[chrysichrysi]

This is soooo incredibly helpful.
That was a judgement I just made. AS was pointing out that "that was a judgement", was as well, another judgement.
And now I can recognize the difference much better😂 and to not limit this video's potential, I'll add that I hope future listeners can take from it what THEY deem as valuable for themselves.

[hansweitbrecht]

we all judge, even to NOT judge is a judgement in itself. But we do not need to get attached to judgements. And by doing so, we are not ruled by past judgements.

[kristawalsh]

Girl, You give me paths to follow, to continue my practice. My favorite part, the divine timing associated with when I receive your message. Tons of gratitude heading your way!

[jennybthick]

I had a friend tell me that she could criticize me without judging me and that she’s just trying to help... being that it was constructive. While I don’t mind her opinion, I think it clears up the question I had about whether or not that was possible. This video was right on time!! Per usual!!

[anthonypenzarella]

Teal, I just asked this question yesterday and is a great challenge for me!  Can't wait to watch.

[pupreagan]

Hi Teal. Just a note to say thank-you for time you took to share. Your direct concise and patient approach makes your point very easy to accept and apply on a personal level. Have a good week, as well.

[kittykatfancy]

This is really interesting. I use "positive criticism" or "positive feedback" - whatever you want to call it - the way she describes the motivations behind offering "criticism". I'm usually trying to achieve a desired outcome. Not sure what that means.

[Fstop]

I just love how practical Teal's advice is.

[mnikolaeva]

Teal <3 Words do not describe how glad I am that your are on Earth! 
You say everything I've ever thought of but doubted and now that you say it I feel more confident.
Although I've heard people saying similar things to me as "don't listen to the criticism" and stuff like that, I could never really accept their advises because these people don't even know what they are saying, or they say it just to make you feel better...

[plain_me]

She is an abuse survivor who is unlicensed. I understand where she is coming from, but she has been deceived. Tread carefully, Ladies. There are therapists who can help you w spirituality while helping you to safely process your pain. Thank you, Swan 💜. The weeks of a menstrual cycle video resonated with me and helped me out. You had a hand in inspiring me at the Beginning of my journey. Your vibrational dissonance tipped me off, and THEN I did my homework. hope you will be able to turn back to the Light. You are most definitely gifted. Peace ☮️✌🏻🕊

This one is hard, it's gonna take a little work but it's so fundamental. Thank you Teal, Love ya ! 💫💜🍀
