I’ve not been told it, but I have said it to somebody else.

Own the fact that you will write crap to begin with and even as you progress, accept it as part of growing
learn how to critique writing and explain the specifics of what does and doesn’t work for you, it will give you insights you don’t realise are there until they’re articulated.
Seperate critique of your work from emotional or personal attack on you the writer. Most people who comment want to help not tear you down, so accept it in good faith
Learn from critique but don’t be afraid to stand by your writing because some critique will help you understand why you wrote what you did and why it should stay as it is. This will help your poetic voice and confidence in how you write and why.
Not every critic is right and poetic subjectivity is different for all but if three or more writers comment on specifics that should be changed do well to heed the advice.
Have fun with words, writing properly is work but the joy of creating something is worth the endeavour
Read, read, read!
Anything I forgot ?

Your thoughts on stillness?
If I let myself can spend hours just sitting and doing nothing, staring at a tree or a field or even cars passing by. I think stillness is underrated as a relaxative. It’s like prayer or meditation, so long as you’re not doing it out of a depressive impulse, which I have done. Then it’s like cement filling your muscles and arteries.
