Stop comparing yourself
by Karl Perera
Why comparing yourself to others is a bad idea
- Comparing yourself to others is really not a good idea. We all do it from
time to time. So many people get into the habit of looking at each other and
comparing each other in terms of what we have and what we don't have in
terms of how happy we are with our lives and in terms of what we're doing
homework or in our personal lives.
The problem of comparing yourself to others is that you can always find
someone who is more beautiful, someone who is slimmer, someone who dresses
more fashionably or someone who talks more confidently. When you're always
comparing yourself to other people what you're real saying is "I want to be
more like them" when what you should be doing is valuing more who and what
you are.
If you always looking at other people that means you're always trying to be
like them.
In a recent article I wrote we discussed
self acceptance. One of the most
important things that you need to do if you want to improve your level of
self-esteem is increase your self acceptance. If you can accept yourself more
for what you really are then you can live in a way that is much more honest
and as a result you'll soon feel better inside. Your level of self-esteem
will increase as you stop trying to copy others.
The benefit of not comparing yourself to others
Let's talk a little now about the benefits of not comparing yourself to
others...
These benefits include:
- being more relaxed with who you are
- less self-consciousness
- less stress
- you'll be able to focus on what you have to do rather than constantly paying
attention to others
- more self confidence
- increased self-esteem as you stop comparing yourself and realise you are
unique
How to stop comparing yourself to othersHere are just a few ways that you can stop comparing yourself to others:
- Try to focus more on what is important to you rather then ask yourself what
others think
focus on what you are doing
- accept you are different from everybody else and take that as a huge
positive
- get to know yourself better and accept who you are
- tell yourself that you can do just as well as anybody else - it doesn't
matter how you look, what you think or what you have done before - what
matters is the end result and the fact that you
believe in yourself
If you are always comparing yourself to others chances are that you feel bad
about yourself and your confidence level is very low. What I would advise
