Ep 245: Comparison chews up your joy and spits it out (except when it doesn’t)
Manage episode 391940301 series 2789941
Comparison - the thief of joy?
It sure can be. And who wants that?
The thing is, these human brains of ours are very good at judgment and comparison is judgment wearing a different outfit. So ... what's a human to do?
Join me for this episode of SelfKind with Erica Webb (that's me!) to hear my thoughts on comparison as a thief of joy (except when it isn't). You'll hear:
- The 'low stakes' but 'high insight' moment I recently had when comparing myself to others
- The link between comparison and shoulds
- The link between comparison and shame
- Three questions you can ask yourself to dig into comparison in a way that helps you return to your own joy
- The importance and role of acknowledging the discomfort comparison brings up
- What comparison can point to when it's not a joy thief (and why it can sometimes lead you toward joy)
- Some thoughts on comparison-induced guilt and the necessity of exploring the both/and.
