3. Engage yourself in meaningful activities to keep your mind off worries. Staying busy helps prevent idle thoughts that lead to unnecessary worrying.
4. Understand that criticism is often a reflection of the critic’s issues. Learn from constructive criticism, but don’t let negative feedback dictate your self-worth.
