I LOVE that my friends & contacts are crushing their goals - but it’s hard some days to not to look at my own progress and wonder what I did “wrong” to not be at that same level.
Comparison robs us of the gratitude for what we’ve done & the motivation to do more.
Don’t let it. Here's what I do instead when I feel the whispers of comparison creep in..
I get off my phone.
I make time to get a workout in.
I dive into a book I'm reading.
I force myself to focus on what steps I plan to finish taking this week. for a goal.
I continually train myself to focus on my lane, my race, & my community - and block out everything else.
If I’m living in comparison, I’m miserable & unable to show up for the community counting on me.
If I’m competing with myself, I’m living my mission & showing up in full for my family, friends, and community.
Let’s make a deal this week. I won’t live in comparison of what I see online if you don’t either. Deal?
I thought so.
