Stop comparing yourself to others! try this way

Are you familiar with the adage, "the grass looks greener than the grass itself"? Yes. It is human nature to always view what other people have as better than what they currently have. Comparing yourself with others is like there is no end. As high as a mountain, there was still a sky that was even higher. When you compare your strengths to your next door friend's strengths, there will always be others who are even better off. Continue like that until the end of time.

The habit of comparing yourself to others can over time undermine your self-esteem and self-esteem, holding you back from true success and happiness. Check out the various ways to break this habit in this article.

How to stop comparing yourself to others

1. Be aware of and avoid triggers

Look for things or situations that cause you to start comparing yourself to other people.

List who and what you often envy or compare yourself to. write down how each negatively affects you.

Once you know everything, avoid the trigger things, especially activities that have no use in your life at all.

For example, if you compare yourself more frequently to other people through social media, limit the time you spend on social media. You can use social media only to communicate with friends or relatives. Replace social media snooping with activities that are more useful in your life, such as sports.

2. Don't just look at someone's "outside"

What you see in other people is only the outer layer. This certainly cannot be a fair comparison with your condition, because what they appear on the outside is not necessarily what actually happened. You cannot use their outward appearance to judge the reality of their life.

This is even more so if you only look at the outside life of the people you are comparing to through social media. Everyone, of course, will often share a life that is happy or nice to look at.

So, remind yourself that you never really know what's going on behind the lives of the other people you are comparing to.

3. "Money doesn't buy happiness"

Sometimes you like to compare wealth or something that other people have with yours. Even though it is not certain that the wealth possessed by that person actually makes him happy.

Be grateful for every good in your life, as well as for all the flaws that make you feel like you don't have enough. Know that every acid of life's salt will have sweet results if you don't give up.

If you commit to being very grateful for what is good in your life, and reminding yourself of it every day, you will stay away from being jealous or comparing yourself to other people.

If someone or something triggers negative feelings, stop and remind yourself what you currently have in your life.

4. Use comparisons as motivation

When you already compare yourself with others, use these comparisons as a boost to your motivation to do even better, not as material for scorn and immersing yourself in "pain"

The human tendency to want what other people have is just a waste of time, unless what you see and want is something useful and has a good impact on your life. For example, seeing the generosity or kindness of others.

For example, suppose there is a woman you know very well who is an incredibly kind and generous wife and mother. She really makes a difference in the world around her, and you want to be like that woman or even more.

Think again about who inspires you to live a better life, in the most important way.
