Don't Compare Your Life To Others
filed in Survival vs. Empowerment on Feb 15, 2007
You have walked through the door of divorce or breakup and are climbing back to the top of the hill. Then, you are hit with difficult times financially. And you slip back into your old pattern of numbing out physically. Or you go into your head and begin comparing yourself to your former partner and others around you. Well, don’t.
You may even tell yourself they have it easier; a bigger home, a better job, a commitment relationship and a secure retirement. They are traveling, and having fun. You have evidence to back up your perceptions. As you compare and sit with these thoughts you see that you are going further into a depressed and immobilized state. You may say to a friend , and even yell at god, why can’t I have it as easy as that.
Don’t go down this road. This thinking only leads to “stuckness” and “despair” Get back on a higher plane, mentally and emotionally. Take a different turn in the road of life.
Comparing is natural, we all engage in it, but it will not serve you in any way. If you are having trouble and cannot stop comparing; try counting your blessings and the good in your life at this moment, to help you release the “comparing” thoughts. Shift your thinking. The more your practice this little technique the better you will feel.
