Have you ever looked at some other woman's life and felt like yours didn't measure up? Have you ever looked

at your sister-in-law or your best friend from high school and felt like you were behind because you

don't have the things that she has? We know that we should not compare ourselves, but actually, I think there's more to it than that.

Comparison at its most basic level, that's not the issue.

The issue is that you are measuring yourself against things that were never meant to guide your life.

Hey guys, I'm Rachel Hollis, and this is the show where we talk about life, real life.

Around here, we cover everything, from habits and motivation to relationships, parenting,

and what it looks like to build a life that you love. If you're trying to relationships, parenting, and what it looks like to build a life that you love.

If you're trying to grow, heal, or just feel a little bit more like yourself, you're in the right place.

One of my favorite quotes on this topic is comparison is the death of joy.

I think as soon as we start to look outside ourselves, as soon as we start to look at someone

else's position in the race, we begin to feel like we are not as far along as we should be.

But I actually have a new spin on

this that I never considered before, which is the worst part about comparison is not actually

judging yourself against someone else. The worst part about comparison is that you are measuring

the wrong things. Okay, let me tell you a story.

When I was in sixth grade, for those of you who live in other places, that's around 12 years old.

When I was in sixth grade, we all had to do a class project, like an individual project where you

needed to collect data.

And everybody did this in different ways, but there was one girl named Ashley.

And Ashley collected data by checking everyone's resting heartbeat.

Okay.
