Mini: What Goes Wrong when we Compare Ourselves to Others / MIND

Our society really struggles with comparison. We scan and we scroll through the social feeds of others and often wind up putting ourselves in a position of comparison. If insecurities within us get activated, which normally happens, we can wind up feeling pretty poorly about ourselves. There are a few things to do that can help you move away from comparison, including understanding it’s root and really asking yourself what you’re looking for when you find yourself going down that rabbit hole.

 

LESSONS: 

• Comparison can be a huge struggle for many of us and activate deep insecurities.
• Remember that comparison can be rooted in the initial need for belonging. If you are comparing, might you want to be connecting? 
• Take a good look at your behaviors. You may need to hit the pause button on those that exacerbate comparing behaviors.
• Ask yourself, What am I really looking to find when I compare?
