Episode 71: Podcast Summary

In this episode, Sarah and Jez discuss how we have a tendency to compare ourselves to others which can lead us into a negative spiral of not feeling good enough. They remind us that we only see what people want us to see and that when we compare ourselves to others, we are essentially comparing the best of the other person with the worst of us.

They suggest that it can be helpful to have someone/something to aspire to/inspire us as this helps our motivation to develop and progress, but when we compare ourselves to others we are not comparing ‘like for like’. If we aren’t careful, we can end up looking for evidence to support the feeling that we aren’t good enough.

They also suggest that if we find ourselves comparing ourselves with others, we need to acknowledge what we are doing and then ask ourselves why we feel the need to do this. We also need to recognise that we always progress at the rate we need to and that we are always exactly where we need to be.
