In this quick guide to 9 ways to stop comparing yourself to others I'm reminding you why you're exactly where you need to be with your lifestyle goals. As long as you're taking action and doing work you're where you need to be.
Comparing yourself to others is a bad habit. I've been there.
The younger me struggled with fear of missing out (FOMO). Even now those negative thoughts creep into my mindset. Why? Because personal development is a life-long journey, not something you do once and check it off your growth list.
Here’s the thing: you are exactly where you need to be. There's no need to compare yourself to where other people are currently at in their way of living. Period.
Working toward your transformation is the beautiful part of the process.
That's right, I said beautiful. The process is the progress. And trying each day to become the best version of you means you're doing the work.
The truth is, you need to stop comparing yourself to others because no one else is like you! Comparison is time that you could spend working on your own dreams and goals. Spend the energy investing in yourself. Not getting tripped up on other people's progress.
Only you are the best at being you!
