Here's what NOT to do if you get some feedback from your manager that you disagree with:<ol><li>First, don’t completely dismiss or discount the feedback, saying something like, “that’s just wrong” or “absolutely not.”</li><li>Second, don’t become combative, saying something like, “Where did you come up with that?” or “are you kidding me?”</li><li>Third, don’t just give in or give up, saying something like, “fine, whatever, you’re right” or “why should I even bother to make my case?”</li></ol>

When you disagree with the feedback from your manager 

If you get nonspecific, not clear feedback like, “you’re not being proactive enough” you’re going to need to dig a bit. <ul><li>Make a request such as, “can you share with me a specific example of when you think I could have been more proactive?” </li><li>Or you can even say, “I want to make sure we’re using the same language. What behaviors do you associate with being proactive?”</li></ul> Remember – tone matters a lot. Speak calmly, carefully, and with curiosity.

Ask for specific examples and clarification

If you’re finding yourself experiencing some challenging emotions that feel hard to manage, or if you notice that you’re having a tough time processing and responding, slow the process down. <ul><li>One way to do that is by looping—repeating back what you hear the other person say. It also serves to help the other person feel like you understand them. </li><li>Another way to do that is to write things down, which (especially if you do it by hand) will give you time to reflect on the conversation as you slow it down to take notes. </li></ul>

Take your time

As much as you may find little merit in your manager’s feedback, look for any areas of agreement—no matter how small. For example, if your boss gives you the feedback that you’re not following up with prospects quickly enough, and you think you’re doing it as fast as you possibly can, you can still agree that both of you want to convert prospects into paying clients. See if you can agree on the what and why even if you see the “how” differently.

Find common ground

Ask yourself this: “If I had to admit that 2% of the feedback were true, what 2% would it be?”. This gives you the opportunity to reflect on the overall feedback, and look for parts of it where maybe (just maybe) you can see yourself in there. For example, if your boss says, “You rushed through the client pitch” and you think you spoke at a reasonable pace, perhaps you could admit that you were a little nervous. Once you do that, be willing to share that with your boss and start from there.

Apply a "2%true" mindset

If, after your conversation, your manager backs down because you helped them see it your way, congratulations. And, in the likely event that this doesn’t happen, make a plan with your manager for you to try the new or different approach—but to check back in soon about how it’s going. That way, you won’t spend months engaged in a new way of working without knowing whether or not it’s making a positive difference.

How to Stop Struggling with Fear and Move Away from It - Purpose Fairy

The main reason, why positive thinking is hard is because our society is filled with a negative atmosphere or in other ways negative thoughts about life. It could be an event, It could be news or a people. And, no - matter how much we try these things keep coming back towards us or hunting us down. The best way, to rid of them is. We need to less expose ourselves to these things.

We can't eliminate them completely from our life. We can only less expose ourselves to these and that way its impact will be less. That is why? Successful people expose themselves to more and more great books, great mentors, and more. And it compounds 1 upon one and other and bleeds unimaginable results over time - as they say, " Rich are getting richer" and " Poorer are getting Poorer "And we wonder how? the hell they did it. And in the worst part, we look at them through the eyes of envy.

We all know, WarrenBuffett ( One of the Greatest Investor of Great Nation United States of America ) But, Do you know? How he became the greatest investor of all time. He read books, newspapers, and magazines all related to stocks and investing throughout the month and years. ( The point, is to expose yourself to the things, that you want in your life more and more. Not what you don't want in your life )

If you are thinking negative all day whole, despite trying hard to rid of them for a few days. Think of this, if you pour one bottle of oil into an Ocean. Its impact will not be visible. But, if you pour 750,000 barrels of oil. Its impact will be huge and unimaginable. That's how positive thinking works ( You need to work on it every day not just one day or two to three days ) Keep thinking positive by replacing the negative ones that's number 1.

Number 2: Expose yourself to more and more positive content or good content not to negative ones.Number 3: Get rid of or avoid or ignore those people or places that give bad vibes. Life is too short, to live with those place, people, or things that don't give good vibes. Number 4: Stop worrying! Or stop dwelling in past- you can only change yourself, you can't others. You can only live in the present, not in past. you can't be happy living in constant worry!

This article is written sorely for negative thoughts that can become some time negative thinking disorder in some peoples' life making them think always negative thoughts about life or about their own life.

Four Positive Thinking ways That Will Actually Make Your Life Better.

There is the possibility in humans of accessing and living from the deeper dimension of consciousness. And accessing that deeper dimension of consciousness is what we could call spiritual awakening,

<ul><li>Life does not cease from challenging you.</li><li>And that doesn't change even if you're awakened spiritually.</li><li>You will get other challenges, different kinds of challenges. The only difference is, as you awaken spiritually, the way in which you respond to the challenges changes, and that is all important.</li><li>How you confront the challenges of life, how you react to or respond to the challenges of life, determines how you experience your life.</li></ul>

How Do You Respond To Life's Challenges?

<ul><li>When one awakens everything becomes an opportunity to become a greater version of you, rather than a problem or an obstacle that is stopping you.</li><li>The victim mindset fades and you take back your seat as a conscious creator.</li><li>Life is here to not make you happy but to CHALLENGE YOU!</li></ul>

Your Challenges Are An Opportunity For Growth.

<ul><li>You are not happy because you've got what you wanted, you are content because for a brief moment you did not wanted anything but the present moment.</li><li>The fun of a game is the challenge it has. So look forward to the challenge and work with life/reality in a coorporative and collaborative way. To meet those challenges. Enjoy playing life with challenges.</li><li>We are too attached to the outcome that we forget to experience the journey. Our consciousness gets so caught up in the past or the future that we completely forget to feel the present moment.</li></ul>

Happiness Lives In The Present Moment

Eckhart often talks about the importance of acceptance. And how important it is to accept what IS. A fantastic tool which we can learn.We also realise the equal importance of accepting what isn't too.What IS, is without thought.And what ISN'T, only exists because of THOUGHT. (Read it again)So now when we catch ourselves worrying about a possible future event, we can remind ourselves that WHAT IS , is genuinely happening in the present moment.And What ISN'T, isn't happening anywhere else but in our imagination.

The Importance Of Understanding What Is And  What Isn't.

Love the way how Eckhart Tolle explains to brings awareness in our daily lives.

According to Eckhart, even after experiencing a spiritual awakening, we will continue to face challenges in life. And how you respond to these challenges, how you confront them is really what determines how you experience your life. It is not determined by what happens to you, but how you react to what happens.

Fundamental Techniques In Handling People'

In the present book, How to Win Friends and Influence People, Dale Carnegie says, “You can make someone want to do what you want them to do by seeing the situation from the other person’s point of view and arousing in the other person an eager want.” You learn how to make people like you, win people over to your way of thinking, and change people without causing offense or arousing resentment.

With good relationships, personal and business successes are easy and swift to achieve. Twelve Ways to Win People to Your Way of Thinking 1. The only way to get the best of an argument is to avoid it. 2. Show respect for the other person's opinions. Never say "You're wrong." 3. If you're wrong, admit it quickly and emphatically. 4. Begin in a friendly way. 5. Start with questions to which the other person will answer yes. 6. Let the other person do a great deal of the talking. 7. Let the other person feel the idea is his or hers. 8. Try honestly to see things from the other person's point of view. 9. Be sympathetic with the other person's ideas and desires. 10. Appeal to the nobler motives. 11. Dramatize your ideas. 12.Throw down a challenge.

How to Win Friends and Influence People

“Give up being perfect, for being authentic. Give up the need to be perfect, for the opportunity to be authentic. Be who you are. Love who you are. Others will too.” ~Hal Elrod Having the ability to talk about our flaws, what’s going wrong in our lives and where we’re getting stuck, is a huge part of human evolution that we often forget about. If we don’t have an environment to talk about our vulnerabilities, the wounds never get a chance to heal. When you choose the illusion of perfection over vulnerability, you become a stunted version of who you’re capable of becoming.

Life Is A Quest, Not A Miracle.

Exploring solutions to hardship is better than compromising with nature or will.

Pretending to be somebody you're not is exhausting work. I'd rather be vulerable and open than hide in fear.

Understand yourself and those around you.

It has made us understand the value of honestly devoted professionals in Healthcare sector..

It has made us feel more comfortable and cosy than ever inside our homes..

It has made us understand the crucial difference between essential products/services and low-stake streams of work, thus improved our prioritisation skills..

It has given us avenues to have more meals with the entire family than we ever managed to do, earlier..

It has made most of us comprehend the ultimate truth, we are mortal humans and tomorrow is not exactly guaranteed..

It has made us more aware of the importance of purchasing life insurance and medical/health insurance..

It has made a sizeable proportion of the affluent class accustomed to and adept at cleaning, washing and sanitizing by themselves on a regular basis..

It has made human relationships land on the honest, realistic ground of what works (and what does not)..

It has made us more connected to our family members, friends, followers and fellow-residents, even if out of health-concerns..

It has made children better communicators as they got the time, energy and willingness to interact more effectively with parents and siblings..

It has undoubtedly made us more techno-savvy and digitally-oriented..

It has instilled a new sense of confidence, pride in the government and system W.R.T. their capability and readiness to deal with untoward turn of events..

It has made eating-out a rare privilege, just exactly how it should be perceived and observed..

It has taught us restraint (regardless of how much) in bed, and why we should not take love-making or the partner for granted..

It has led us to believe in enhancing our leadership skills, at any and every level, given the more precarious, vulnerable nature of the world of today..

It has given us the time for catching up on our hobbies, favourite pastimes and areas of interest..

It has made us reminisce of God more, and this has worked in our favour, because we have experienced and practiced faith, hope and providence (divine intervention)..
