Self-care Sunday: Does anyone else feel like they need more concrete instructions than "just let go" of intrusive thoughts? Hunter Clark-Fields (author of Raising Good Humans) explains that the reason labeling thoughts works to help let them go is because the process activates the prefrontal cortex---the part of the brain responsible for logic, reason, and decision-making, i.e. the part of the brain that's good at focusing and setting emotions aside. It's been really helpful in my meditation practice to notice where my thoughts go, give them a label, and find it easier to refocus on the present. Labeling thoughts isn't just helpful during meditation! It's a useful practice at any time of day when you notice unwanted thoughts cropping up. The key is in the noticing.

How to stop comparing yourself

Comparison kills self-esteem, Personality, happiness, and confidence. It wastes your potential and precious time. If you want 2023 to be your year of growth, you've got to stop comparing yourself to others and start fully focusing on yourself; let me show you how!! <3

Appreciate what you have, where you are in life and what you've accomplished. Focus on your own path and growth and acknowledge how far you've already come. <3

Growth isn't linear, be patient and enjoy the journey!

Aim to become a more appreciative person, remind yourself daily of the beautiful elements of your life and learn to appreciate the smaller things.

Other people's achievements don't undermine yours.

Be mindful of the content you consume online. Unfollow people who make you feel bad about yourself; instead, find people who uplift and motivate you to grow.

Start competing against yourself instead of others, and aspire to improve daily.

Remember that the content you see online is not the complete picture of someone's life. Content creators are perfectionists; we retake pictures, romanticise everything and create a perfect elusion!!

Turn comparison/jealousy into inspiration!! Learn from the people who have what you desire.

Stop depending your worth on other people's validation!!

Everyone has a unique path, starting point, and background. There really is no point in comparing oneself since we are all so different. <3
