Episode 40: Self-love part 2 - stop comparisons

Self love part 2 - stop comparisons

“Your contest is not with him but with yourself.” In part two of the Self-love series I am going to talk about how to stop comparisons or even better how to let comparisons we make have less effect on us. I share why comparisons are not helpful for us and then suggest 5 things we can do to help us become more aware of this very natural tendency to compare ourselves to others.

Show Notes: Hi Friends! I hope you enjoyed listening to this episode. Below are all the references.

"Self-love is not simply a state of feeling good. It is a state of appreciation for oneself that grows from actions that support our physical, psychological and spiritual growth. Self-love is dynamic; it grows through actions that mature us. When we act in ways that expand self-love in us, we begin to accept much better our weaknesses as well as our strengths, have less need to explain away our short-comings, have compassion for ourselves as human beings struggling to find personal meaning, are more centered in our life purpose and values, and expect living fulfillment through our own efforts."
