058: The Danger of Comparison + How to Stop Comparing Yourself to Others

Have you ever caught yourself comparing yourself to the other people in the room while practicing yoga? Have you thought that maybe you’re not good enough because you don’t have enough Instagram followers? Have you thought about giving up on your business because your website doesn’t look as good as your yoga teacher friend’s does?

I’ve been there.

On this episode, I’m sharing the danger of comparison and how comparison can truly be “the thief of joy”, if we allow it to be so. I share a few personal examples of where comparison has popped up in my personal and professional life and how I have learned to shift my perspective on comparison.

I don’t think it’s possible to ever truly rid your life of comparison, but it is certainly possible to shift the way that you interpret comparison and deal with it. This is obviously easier said than done, and I chat about a few tips for beginning to learn to identify when you are comparing yourself to others, why you are doing it, how to cope with it, and how to turn it into an opportunity to improve yourself.

Enjoy!
