Show Notes
We Go Boldly into uncharted territory today with a special guest co-host! As we dig into the difficult world of comparisons we are so fortunate to have a dear friend of the show, Bunmi Emenejo join us on this episode. We explore the ins and outs of what it means to spend your life constantly comparing yourself to either yourself and/or to others.
We discuss the ways in which we sabotage our own happiness by consistently comparing our current state to what we expected, imagined or were told to want. Thinking and talking through how to combat the urge to wonder “what if, if only, I should just” and all the other ways that we compare our current lives to what might have been.
Beyond self-comparison we often find ourselves comparing our circumstances to those of the people around us in real life, online, on social media, at work and everywhere in between. These types of endless comparisons lead us to stray from our own purpose, feel insecure, depressed, unworthy and down. We fail to recognize our own strengths as we spend our time comparing our characteristics to people we know nothing about.
Tune in to hear our conversation all around busyness, self-worth, comparisons and don’t forget to rate, review, and subscribe while you’re there!
GO BOLDLY HOMEWORK
- We’re coming with two homework choices. First think about what is harder for you right now. Is it comparing yourself to where you think you should be? Or is it comparing yourself to others.
- If you struggle with comparing yourself to yourself, grab your journal. Keep track of what triggers you to compare yourself to yourself.
- If you struggle with comparing yourself to others, take a social media break. Step away from social media for a week. As we know social media is a prime place where we compare ourselves to others. Give yourself a break.
- Lastly, stop over on Instagram or if you’re taking a social media break send a message on our website, and tell us how you are doing.
