If you start to compare where you are in life with someone else … take these steps:
1. Create goals that inspire you
The easiest way to realign yourself is to create goals and plans to achieve them. Most people are goal oriented, so even setting daily goals will help kickstart your biggest dreams. Make sure your goals are measurable and excite you.
If you feel like you are constantly comparing yourself to others, it could be a sign you have no achievable goals set at the moment, and you are “waiting” for something to happen. Don’t wait … if you want something bad enough, go for it.
2. Use your energy to focus on yourself
It sounds so simple, but channel your inner post breakup self and work on YOU! Don’t spend your time comparing yourself to others when you can be killing it in the gym or being a badass at work.
Remember, you have every tool you need to be successful. It’s up to you to decide whether or not you want to be.
3. Change who you are comparing yourself to
Compare yourself to you.
How can you be a better you? If you start comparing yourself to yourself everyday, you will begin to realize whether or not you are making progress in your overall life.
4. Remember that you’re not always seeing the whole picture
Social media makes it extremely easy to get caught up in the glamorous sides of our lives. As you know, everyone has good days and bad days. Not every travel blogger is happy each second of the day, and not every fashion blogger has their life figured out.
If there are no struggles or hardships in our lives, it would be so boring.
5. Someone else’s success ISN’T YOUR FAILURE
Everyone runs on different timelines. EVERYONE. If your time hasn’t come yet, don’t worry, it will when the universe wants it to. Be happy for those that are crushing their goals and dreams.
