How can I stop comparing my life with others?
Comparison is the thief of joy.” – Theodore Roosevelt
As true as that statement is, avoiding comparison is a challenge for most of us. Me, included.
We’re constantly bombarded with images and information of people who seemingly have it all. It’s hard not to compare yourself. Even just a little bit.
Can you avoid the temptation to make comparisons and still live in the real world? Not to mention keeping up to date with your Instagram feed?
Yes, you can. You just need a little awareness and a dollop of determination.
Don’t waste your time and energy focusing on someone else’s garden. Use them to tend to your own. Sure, you can use that gorgeous garden as inspiration but that’s where it ought to end.
What you see in someone else’s garden or life, might have taken them years of hard work to achieve. Use what you see to visualise what you want to achieve for yourself and then, tend to your own garden.
2.Accept where you are right now
As with any journey, you need a starting point as well as a destination. There’s no point in deluding yourself about where you are right now.
Take the time to acknowledge your current situation and accept your life, as it is, right now. You’ll not only release a lot of frustration, you’ll also stick a ‘You Are Here’ pin in the map of your life.
Now you can begin planning your journey to happiness and a better life.
Social media is a wonderful resource for inspiration. It can also make you feel incredibly inadequate.
If social media is making you feel more inadequate than inspired it might be time to limit your exposure or maybe go cold turkey for a while.
If what you’re seeing isn’t serving your goal for yourself or your life, remove it from your life.
