In this episode, we explore how it can be harmful to our self-esteem if we are constantly comparing ourselves to what we see on social media and other sources. Social media is often filled with edited and artificial versions of reality which can make us feel like we can't compare. We change the thinking and discuss four strategies that can be used to benefit from social comparison which is from an article in Psychology Today. Healthy ways to use comparison include focusing on similarities, setting your own goals, establishing collaborative norms and looking at more than one person to compare yourself to. Comparisons can actually lead to building self-esteem and motivating growth in ourselves. Isn't that a better way to look at comparisons??
