Episode 20: Comparison

In this episode:

• Comparison is inevitable – know what YOU want
• The highlight reel vs reality
• Using those that came before as evidence
• Learning from what triggers you
• Controlling what you can - YOURSELF

In today’s episode, we are talking COMPARISON. In specific, comparison in regards to social media. We all know that comparison is inevitable in this social media driven world where we can scroll through hundreds of highlight reels and unfortunately, we sometimes forget reality. Today I wanted to talk about 5 tips that I have if you struggle with comparison or if someone that you know does. Here’s the breakdown:

1. Know what YOU want – that’s what matters most.
2. Use other people’s experience as EVIDENCE that it CAN BE DONE.
3. Ask yourself better questions.
4. SCHEDULE off the grid unplugged time.
5. Unfollow the people that trigger you.

“Girl I want you to live a life that you are freaking OBSESSED with. I do not want some sallysue293 on Instagram to be the reason that you’re holding yourself back and staying in your own damn way of pursuing your goals and this beautiful vision that you have for your life.”

Quotes:

“Just because she has more likes on a picture, has nothing to do with her being better than you at anything.”

“Let’s peel back what the real goal is here. I hope that the real goal is to be happy and fulfilled in life not just for the internet.”

“At the end of the day, if you know your path and your goals and your priorities, that’s what matters.”

“If you catch yourself comparing and then in turn doubting yourself, ask yourself WHY you catch yourself wishing that you had something that she has.”
