Description

Consciously avoid comparing yourself to others, focusing instead on personal growth and achievements.

Benefits

Boosts self-esteem, reduces anxiety, and promotes a healthier mental outlook.

Example

Comparing myself to others on social media used to sap my joy constantly. Feeling drained by endless scrolling and jealousy, I committed to consciously avoiding comparison. Instead, whenever the urge struck, I redirected my focus inward, listing my own achievements or growth areas. Within weeks, I felt noticeably lighter, more content with myself. Anxiety gradually diminished, self-esteem slowly improved, and my mental outlook shifted towards gratitude for my own journey, rather than envy of others’.
