How to compare myself to no one, but who I was yesterday by cutie8917

"be aware"

How I did it: Initially i didn't even know i was comparing myself to others. it made me sad, nervous, jealous and all those bad feelings would arise in my mind and i ended up hating the person unnecessarily. the outcome was that i started distancing myself from the friends i had. but then, i found this website "pathwaytohappiness.com" and it made me aware of my thoughts. all along, i was the one who was putting myself down. negative self talk can destroy you. 

firstly, i counted all the things i had, all my blessings. then, i thought of a person who i always compare myself to. i counted her weaknesses,etc. i found that everybody in some way or another is lacking, and i can't be perfect too. so, i needed to stop comparing. 

this was the most difficult part because i was accustomed to comparing myself to every single person i met. 43T helped me immensely. 

Lessons & tips:

  • be aware of ur thoughts and try not to compare
  • if you do compare, think about what the other person is lacking and u r not
  • remember your family and friends love you for the person u are  
  • remember nobody's perfect  
  • work on the things you dislike about yourself  
  • compare yourself to the person you were before you started working on the things you dislike about yourself  
  • believe that you can be whatever you want to be, no matter what anyone says
