I AM OKAY WHERE I AM
Not comparing yourself with others will
spare you a lot of agitation. This remains
a challenge, though, since social media
gives us a way to peer into other people’s
lives. Even though this can be nice,
sometimes we get the idea that everyone
else is having more fun than we are.See if you can try to stop comparing yourself with other people
for just one week. Every time you catch yourself doing it,
shift your attention to something else.Where did you end up refocusing your attention?Did you feel calmer after the week was over?Which three things were you grateful for this week,
or happy about?Something else that can help is to avoid getting distracted by
what other people are doing or thinking, but to use this as
inspiration instead. Be sure to trust your gut feeling and do
what makes you happy.COMPILATION
