EPISODE 94: How to Stop Comparing Yourself to Others

When it comes to how we look, how strong we are, how fast we’re progressing and everything in between, our emotions can push our rational minds out of the driver’s seat, take the wheel, and drive us straight towards Crazyville.

 

Like sticking a fork into an electrical socket, comparing ourselves to others is more often than not a horrible idea that no good can come from.

 

In this episode, co-coach, Eileen Trujillo, and I discuss the sinkhole of comparison and how to create a more powerful mindset that serves to build you up instead of tear you down.

 

Topics discussed:

 

▪️The interconnected relationship between comparison and self-sabotage

 

▪️Why, if left to our own devices, we will never feel satisfied when we compare ourselves to others

 

▪️The power of your inner circle, and the importance of regularly tending to those relationships

 

▪️The dangers of comparing our insides to someone else’s outsides 

 

For more of our thoughts on this, you can also check out Episode 42 — The Comparison Trap.
