450. Comparison: Why We Do It + How to Deal

Author: Krista Williams & Lindsey Simcik August 10, 2021 Duration: 1:02:43
In this episode, Krista examines the scientific root of comparison and the knock-on effects it can have on one's confidence and sense of self.  Everyone can relate to the sensation of seeing green when a friend or someone you know or admire achieves a life milestone you're yearning for. It's human, it's real, and can be mentally excruciating – if you fall down the rabbit hole of negative self-talk.  When Krista caught herself slipping down the comparison spiral, she decided to delve into the rationale behind it, and explore the theme with Almost 30 Nation in greater detail. Tune in to uncover Krista's spiritual support system that allows you to break free from comparative thought loops and step back into your power. We also talk about: The science of comparison  Why some people are prone to comparing themselves to others  Identifying your inner-critic How to with comparison and negative self-talk  Learning to be your own best friend and hyping up yourself Reframing comparison Living uncensored Resources: Research study Join our community: almost30.com/membership facebook.com/Almost30podcast/groups Podcast disclaimer can be found by visiting: almost30.com/disclaimer.  Find more to love at almost30.com!
