We've all been there. You find yourself scrolling, going deeper and deeper into someone's account or profile, and the more you scroll, the worse you feel. It happens to the best of us.
It's the comparison trap.
We think, "How are they doing it?" or “They’re so much further/better/more attractive/cooler than me”, or perhaps it's just the inward judgment along the lines of "Why am I so disappointing?"
You get the point - it's an awful feeling and a terrible mental trap that has become so easy to fall into with how prevalent social media has become. It's easy to simply say, "Stop doing that," but it's waaaay harder to actually do.
In this episode, I break down a few simple tips and mindset shifts to help you better cope with this comparison tendency and hopefully keep that nasty inner voice in check. When we avoid the comparison trap, we feel happier, more confident, and self-assured with where we're at in our own personal journeys.
Just like eating healthy, working out, and sleeping 8 hours a night, we already know what we're supposed to do but often need plenty of reminders along the way to stay on track. If you've found yourself falling into this comparison tendency, this episode will give you encouragement and some skills to better avoid the perils of comparing ourselves to others.
