058: The Danger of Comparison + How to Stop Comparing Yourself to Others

Have you ever caught yourself comparing yourself to the other people in the room while practicing yoga? Have you thought that maybe you're not good enough because you don't have enough Instagram followers? Have you thought about giving up on your business because your website doesn't look as good as your yoga teacher friend's does? I've been there. On this episode, I'm sharing the danger of comparison and how comparison can truly be "the thief of joy" if we allow it. I share a few personal examples of where comparison has popped up in my personal and professional life and how I have shifted my perspective on comparison. I don't think it's possible to ever truly rid your life of comparison, but it is certainly possible to shift the way that you interpret comparison and deal with it. On this episode, we talk about: - Comparison in the yoga studio - The danger of comparing yourself to others - Why we need to stop comparing ourselves - How to shift the way you think of comparison and turn it into an opportunity for growth - Tips I've used to minimize comparison in my life and my business If you enjoy the podcast, join the community on Facebook, Instagram and sign up for the monthly newsletter.
