Comparison Is The Thief Of Joy (With Guided Meditation)

‘We become so busy chasing a life that we ultimately end up missing living one.’ 

In this episode, Niall dives into one of the principles of practice of mindfulness that has been on his mind a lot recently. He also guides a short meditation on the subject. 

The fast-pace of the modern world can be very overwhelming, and it can feel difficult to keep up sometimes. Especially when you have people on social media telling you they have a 5 to 9 routine before their 9 to 5, or that because you’re not giving 100% all of the time, you are an abject failure. It is very easy to fall into the trap of comparison and tell ourselves we are not enough. 

This is why the mindfulness principle of non-judgement is so crucial, not just in judgement of others, but of ourselves.
