The Comparison Trap: Why We Feel It & How to Break Free | YKMS
Episode Overview
Comparison can sneak in through social media, friendships, or everyday moments—leaving us feeling like we’re not enough. In this episode, we explore the roots of comparison and jealousy, how they impact self-worth, and what we can do to shift our mindset. Through personal stories and practical tools, we look at how to move from comparison to connection.
Key Discussion Points
- Comparison vs. Jealousy: What’s the difference and why it matters.
- Our Stories: Moments where we’ve felt “less than.”
- The Social Media Effect: How curated lives trigger insecurity.
- Why We Compare Up: And how it affects our self-worth.
- Rebuilding Worth: Tools to reframe and focus on what matters.
- Practical Tips: Gratitude, perspective shifts, and celebrating others.
Listener Takeaways
- Awareness is powerful—know when comparison shows up.
- Reframe your thoughts—ask what the feeling is really about.
- Practice gratitude—it helps anchor you.
- Celebrate others—someone else’s win isn’t your loss.
- Social media isn’t the whole story—focus on your own path.
