While she admitted that it is hard to shut out negativities sometimes, she emphasizes the importance of having the right mindset.

“It’s hard, but try not to listen or read them or think they mean anything,” she added. “Really they don’t. You don’t care what they have to say whether they were giving me good advice or bad advice so I shouldn’t listen to the opinions of them either.”
