How I respond to criticism from a senior colleague?

Few years ago, if someone criticised me for my work, my response would be, burst out with repulsive behaviour, anger and end up being sad, then hating that person for ever.

Now, when someone criticise me , I just say one or two lines in explanation and if I see person is not understanding and repeating same words, I just listen and finish the conversation and not think of it for 1 day( which was very difficult in the beginning).
Then, with more calmer state of mind
I think and write down the situation ,
what was the rational behind the criticism,
was it constructive or destructive criticism.
Once, I have answer for these, I go back to person and re-discuss.
Many times confusions have been cleared in a friendly way and some criticism have been constructive for my personal growth. Negative criticism will be responded in a better way so the person cannot take me for granted if it happens again.

So bursting out emotion immediately in a weak moment would cause long term destruction and give a wrong impression of yourself to your own self and to surrounding people.

This positive change I have bought in my life has helped me to handle work related stress in a non toxic manner.
