Coincidentally I was thinking about handling negativity on my YouTube channel the last 24 hours, so this came at the right time. My channel isn't that huge right now, so I'm looking at every negative comment or criticism right now through two lenses...
1. Someone actually watched...which is great regardless of the reaction.
2. The criticism is coming in such tiny doses that this is helping me build an armor to the negativity I may one day face when the channel is much bigger.
I remember a Christine Lagarde (President of European Central Bank) interview in which the interviewer, in the context of catastrophic economic circumstances due to Covid-19, asked Lagarde if she sleeps at night.
Her response:
“Of course I sleep at night”
She was able to handle it as she’d pushed through many battles before that particular crisis.

Such an artful way of describing that overwhelming feeling but also our own strength
Hi Nat I love your work. I want to know how to find a book of yours that is out of print ?
I like how this one goes with the last one. Only by doing hard things can you realize that you can handle more than you think.

Thanks for this - I needed to remind myself of this exact thing today.... Please don't feel responsible for my mortgage though.
Thank you for writing this. Right article at the right time.
