Episode 16: Getting Out of the Comparison Spiral


Listen Later

We know that comparison happens. We know that it doesn’t always feel that great. We know that “comparison is the thief of joy” or that the “grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.” We don’t need to be told that.

What we want to understand is how we can free ourselves from the spiral of comparison that can overwhelm us with feelings of inadequacy. How we can worry less about what others are doing and feel more comfortable living our own lives. How we can actually spend less mental space comparing and more time feeling good about ourselves.

In this episode we talk about what’s at the root of comparison—why we do it, what is signals, and how understanding that can help us find practical ways to ease that feeling in your life.
