Being a creator can be stressful.
👉 In this article, I will show you how to deal with the haters, prevent burnout, and supercharge your happiness.
After creating great content, it’s still easy to fixate on the negative – bad comments, low views, something that could’ve been better.
You carry that into the next video. You see the bad in that one too.
The cycle repeats.
Until one day, all that pressure piles up and helps push you towards burnout.
The hard truth everyone needs to understand
There will always be something negative about every video.
You’re unlikely to make a video that’s truly “perfect.” There will always be a flaw, a bad comment, a missed detail.
But happiness isn’t about chasing perfection.
It’s about choosing what you focus on.
How to supercharge happiness (specifically as a creator)
Take the best moments and save them.
- Clip the moments you’re proud of. That perfect shot? That smooth transition? Save those clips in a folder.
- Print out the good comments. The ones that make you smile. Frame them. Stick them on your wall. Give them more attention than the bad ones.
- Find joy in the little things. Like Dolly Parton says, “I make a point to appreciate all the little things in my life, because I learned early that if you don’t, you get disappointed a lot”
Over time, these small reminders will shift your mindset.
One bad comment won’t matter when you have plenty of good ones to look back on.
The trick to dealing with the haters
Two words: Let them.
Mel Robbins calls it the “Let Them Theory.”
- Someone leaves a nasty comment? Let them.
- Someone doesn’t like your video? Let them.
- Someone doubts you? Let them.
Don’t waste your energy on things you have no control over.
In this case, that’s trying to control what other people think.
Instead, put that energy where it belongs: into creating your next great video.
At the end of the day, don't, but do
James Clear says: “A surefire way to make a bad situation worse is to keep replaying it in your mind.”
Dwelling on the bad won’t make it better.
So don’t.
Instead, make the next thing. Clip and screenshot your positive moment. And as always, keep creating.
Until next time.
