ooze in with motivation, inspiration, and confidence to help you boldly take

action on your dreams.

I'm your host Trish Blackwell,

internationally recognized confidence coach,

best-selling author, and founder of the College of Confidence

the most encouraging place on the internet.

I teach go-getters in life, how to take their thoughts captive,

how to step out of the shadows of self-doubt,

and how to courageously step into their purpose with confidence. It's time to pump our confidence muscles and

train our thoughts y'all. Let's get started.

Hey there, it's Trish Blackwell and you're listening to the Confidence

podcast. This is episode 545. We're talking today about the

Compare and Despair Cycle. We're going to dive into finding a way

so that comparison doesn't steal your joy, that you're not giving away your potential because you're so distracted comparing

yourself to other people. In this episode I'm going to tackle this this concept

of what actually happens that puts us into the compare and despair cycle, the negative impact

that comparing ourselves to others can have on our mental health and our well-being and

we're going to delve into the reasons why we engage in this behavior and then more importantly

than all of that I'm going to give you some practical strategies to break the

cycle and to cultivate a more positive and self-compassionate mindset.

Buckle up.
