450. Comparison: Why We Do It + How to Deal


Listen Later

In this episode, Krista examines the scientific root of comparison and the knock-on effects it can have on one's confidence and sense of self. 

Everyone can relate to the sensation of seeing green when a friend or someone you know or admire achieves a life milestone you're yearning for. It's human, it's real, and can be mentally excruciating – if you fall down the rabbit hole of negative self-talk. 

When Krista caught herself slipping down the comparison spiral, she decided to delve into the rationale behind it, and explore the theme with Almost 30 Nation in greater detail. Tune in to uncover Krista's spiritual support system that allows you to break free from comparative thought loops and step back into your power.
