Comparison is a lurking enemy we all must learn to battle. Its limitless attacks can keep you stuck, ineffective, and ultimately miserable – if not properly addressed. In our most recent podcast conversation on Black + White Sofa, my dear friend Holly Newton and I talk about how to overcome comparison.
As women (and men), none of us are immune to the effects that comparison can offer. The key to unlocking a healthy balance of living is to exchange the comparison culprit with a life-giving choice of gratitude. When combatted with an attitude of gratitude, we are able to shift the atmosphere around us, bring joy to our hearts, and ultimately impact those around us with a presence that is far more beautiful. We’ll always battle this sneaky enemy, but winning is a choice. In this episode, I talk about how I believe so much in gratitude that it has become one of the core values of my business. So much of what I do stems from choosing gratitude, even when it doesn’t seem come easy. So if you’re feeling a little lacking…well, you’re not. I share some of my challenges of comparison, and how we all can slide down the slippery slope of looking at others. When we choose what gives us life, everything shifts around us.
