Put an end to comparing yourself to others

Do you compare your appearance to the people you follow on Instagram? Perhaps you compare your income to that of a friend. Creating comparisons is normal. However, it is unlikely to increase your self-esteem. It may have the opposite impact.

As per the research, there is a direct relationship between envy and how you feel about yourself. Researchers discovered that when people compared themselves to others, they felt jealous. They felt worse about themselves the more envious they were.

How can you regain confidence when you see yourself making comparisons? First, remind yourself that doing so is counterproductive. Everyone is running their own race, and life is not a race.

If you're feeling envious of someone else's life, remind yourself of your own talents and accomplishments. Keep a thankfulness notebook to remind yourself of the areas of your life where you have been blessed. This can assist you in focusing on your own life rather than the lives of others.
