COMPARISON IS THE THEIF OF JOY

Social media, magazines, TV, celebrities and all other media platforms set the stage for us to compare ourselves to others.

These things show the perfect body, the perfectly healthy and energetic and so so happy. I used to look at the Title Nine catalog and wish I could feel as healthy and energetic as the seemingly real women.

When we compare ourselves to others we are telling a story that someone else is better than us or more worthy than us. This brings us to feeling shame.

Everyone’s life is different. Social media is where people show their best selves (sometimes with filters). Our age, our hormones, sleep, activity level, stress level, diet, medical history, genetics and so much more than that are things we are comparing and we need to stop doing that. It is unproductive and it makes us feel bad.

We are who we are and that is okay. If you want to make changes, great! I’m here to help you. If not, that’s okay too. You might be ready someday.

When we work together, I will not point out another persons accomplishments, appearance, or health journey. Yours is as unique as you are.

I will remind you what serves one person may not be what serves you.

I will redirect your focus by helping you identify action steps you can focus on to move in the direction of your health goals.

Unfollow any of the social media accounts that get you stuck in comparison mode. You will be healthier for it.
