Ep. 42 - Want to Be Happy? Stop Comparing Yourself to Others.

This week we are continuing our series about happiness. We all want to feel happy, but what does that actually mean? We are often so dependent on external factors, instead of internal factors, to help us feel happy.    One of the external factors we often fall victim to is comparison. Social media can help us be especially guilty of this. Social media is supposed to be used for connection and to feel closer to one another, but it can often have the opposite effect.    Social media can make us seek outside validation for us to feel whole. How many times have you been guilty of looking at how many people liked your latest photo? If you’re constantly checking your feed, it can cause feelings of anxiety, feelings of envy, and dissatisfaction. Our self-esteem takes a hit!    We have to stop using others as a mirror for our own success. It’s about recognizing that who we are is a gift in itself to this world. Take time to notice how many times you compare yourself to others, bring yourself to the present, and know that you are loveable just as you are!    Continue Your Growth Journey: Kaminiwood.com
