We’ve all done it: On a nice, fine day, we’ll innocently open up our social media apps feeling really good about ourselves. As we continue to scroll through our feeds and see all the happy faces having the best days of their lives, all of a sudden, “they” pop up front and center. You know… that one person that we follow on social media that just seems to have it all together. There they go again, living their best life. We say this with eye rolls on our faces and sarcasm in our tones. There goes this perfect person, posting about another awesome thing they did. Attached with that awesome announcement is an awesome picture with them in their awesome outfit exuding their awesome confidence and glow. We click on their profile to see more, because one picture to make us feel bad about ourselves isn’t enough. We see this person smiling in one picture, laughing in another. We see them having the best time getting ready for their day with their perfect cup of coffee. There they go again, but this time at work announcing another promotion. Oh, there’s another picture with them and their family vacationing at the beach. And lastly, there they are at their perfect picturesque scenery at their house… everything about them is just PERFECT! Then, the spiraling starts. We compare every single aspects of ourselves to this person. We start to minimize ourselves, the way we look, the way we work, the way we eat, the way we vacation, the way we live, the way we breathe, the way we do EVERYTHING. And want to know the cherry on top of all this? WE DON’T EVEN KNOW THIS PERSON. . . . #selfaffirmation #selflove #contentment #happiness #positivethoughts #behappytooneanother # https://www.instagram.com/p/B8lVFY1AttI/?igshid=p59554rc74m6
