#13 : Measuring Up - Your personal self-torture mechanism


Listen Later

Measuring Up is something you do all the time to determine your self-worth, to see if you are good enough or not. The issue is, this never ends.

It's a never-ending journey, and is done to either show yourself or to others that you are good enough. Once a milestone is achieved, another is set, and it goes on and on.

You use certain parameters or metrics to measure up; and these metrics assume an all-consuming importance in your life. Everyone has their own unique set of metrics which they use to measure up, and no two sets of metrics are ever the same. Out of all your metrics, you always have one prime metric to which you give maximum importance.

This measuring-up business leads you to a lot of negative emotions, and makes you expend a lot of efforts. But, these efforts never seem to be enough - there is always more to be done or achieved.

It's high time there is an overall reframing of your metrics! It is high time you stopped torturing yourself.

Dive deep into this topic; develop awareness of what measuring up is all about; understand the causes of why you always try to measure up; learn more about metrics and identify your own set of metrics, including your prime metric in life; analyze how this measuring up is affecting you and your life; realize why it is critical for you to deal with it; gather ways to tackle and reframe this measuring up; take immediate action towards the same; live a better and meaningful life.
