Summary

Fact: Humans are social creatures. Also fact: Comparing your life to someone else's is a waste of time and energy. But it's not always easy to keep your eyes on your own green grass. Social media and technology have made it easier than ever to compare yourself to everyone else...and feel really shitty about it.

In this Fierce Love edition of Harder to Kill Radio, I'm doling out some tough love about the comparison trap...and how to avoid it in the first place. You'll walk away with tips to get clearer about what really matters to you and how to define your own success.

0:00.0	Hey there, what's happening? This is Steph Godro and I'm back with another edition of Fierce Love Friday, which is where I sit down by myself with the mic and just kind of rant and go crazy.
0:15.0	But it's been a really great addition to our normal Tuesday,
0:19.3	Harder to Kill Radio Podcasts, a great companion, and a place where I've been able to address some of the
0:26.1	other topics that are coming up in my community. By the way, I would love to have you
0:30.4	join my Harder to Kill Club on Facebook. It's a closed group full of like-minded
0:35.0	health seekers like yourself and to do that you can head over to Facebook and just type in
0:40.0	harder to Kill Club and you'll see requests to join there. So I'd love to have you in that group. It's
0:44.7	over 5,000 people and it's awesome. So last week on Fierce Love Friday we delved into how I sort of broke up with sugar and my own journey with that, which was a bit of a juicy rant at some point. today I'm going to talk about comparison and boy
1:06.8	this one comes up so much in my community with myself in my past and as human beings this is just something that we deal with
1:17.2	but part of my mission here with Fierce Love Friday is to simultaneously provide the kick in the ass slash arm around the
1:27.2	shoulder that you may need to get over or feel some more confidence or feel like you're supported when you're dealing with these things in your life because there are three reactions that we get as human beings we have when we feel super freaked out.
1:47.0	Everybody knows fight or flight. But the third reaction is to freeze.
1:55.0	And so many of the folks that I interact with on a daily basis are in the freeze mode,
2:01.0	where they just feel like they cannot move forward.
2:05.0	They are so stuck.
2:06.6	They are getting hooked into their story over and over again
2:12.0	and hooking into it and going for a ride and I think that you know sometimes we just need
2:19.7	somebody to shake us out of that and so that's kind of my aim with these Fierce
2:23.7	Love Friday podcasts. So I asked last week what you all wanted to hear about and
2:31.9	the sugar topic was the winner on that poll but I decided to also
2:37.3	record about comparison as well because I think that this is a huge reason why a lot of us freeze or we start to question ourselves
2:46.3	or we start to get really spun up mentally when it comes to our own health journeys.
