How to Stop Comparing Yourself To Others?

1. Post The Things You Like On Social Media And Don’t Look At Others Likes/Comments

Of course, social media sites have their perks, such as being able to connect people in two different parts of the world, and enabling them to share parts of their day with each other. However, it can become a hindrance to your mental health if you find yourself logging on every five minutes to check other people’s profiles and compare your life to theirs. You know the feeling..you get on Instagram and see profiles of young, fit looking women traveling the world, somehow earning money to do so, hanging out with tons of cool people..and you suddenly feel useless and depressed. You want their life, and no longer feel proud or happy with yours.

When you do get on social media accounts, make sure you post things that make you feel good about yourself, so you don’t wallow in sorrow from comparing yourself to others. Also, remember that you don’t really know the full details of people’s lives, and they usually only showcase the highlights of their days. You don’t really know what goes on behind closed doors, so just take that into account the next time you find yourself comparing them to you.

2. Value Your Strong Points And Not Your Weak Ones

The sole reason that comparing ourselves to others is so dangerous is that it takes away our power, and makes us believe we just can’t ever reach the same level as those people we idolize. However, remember that you don’t consist of just flaws and mistakes; you have many wonderful traits and strengths if you just focus on the good within you.

We are much harder on ourselves than we really should be at times, and can even conjure up stories about ourselves in our heads that aren’t even true. The mind is a powerful tool, so use it to empower, not destroy, yourself.

3. Don’t Forget That Things Can’t Be The Same Like People Show Them On “Happy” Pictures

Like we said before, you don’t know the whole story behind someone’s life. They might show all the positive moments in their life and glorify them on social media, but what about the crippling self-doubt they feel at times? Or the fight they just had with their spouse? Or the nonstop, hustle and bustle that they endure on a daily basis? You usually don’t see these things on social media. Even if you know someone in person, they may not divulge the true picture of their life.

Be grateful for the life you’ve been given, and instead of tearing yourself down by comparing yourself to others, lift yourself up by recognizing that you’re a beautiful being from the cosmos, with a limitless ability to shape your life into whatever you want it to become.
