Episode Notes:
Reminders to help when we get into comparative thinking
- Your path is your own.
- You are where you need to be in this moment.
- You are good enough and worthy enough to achieve your desires.
- There is room for everyone to achieve their dreams and one person’s success doesn’t take away from your success.
- You don’t have to conform to anyone else’s timeline.
- Trust that life is unfolding for you as it is.
Social media reminders:
- Know your limits and your triggers.
- Feel free to unfollow or mute people you are following any time.
- Have creative affirmations for yourself to counteract those negative thoughts.
- Replace internet time with self-care practices.
- Create boundaries with your social media time.
- Social media is highlight reel.
