Stop Allowing Comparison to Steal Your Life and Joy








 Hey Followers!

  I'm still enjoying my Authenticity Life coaching Course by Gladies  Ramos through Transformation Academy.

Today's topic was all about Comparison.

Let's get right into it!

Here's an excellent YouTube from Jay Shetty

Here's the worksheet that goes with this course!

1. Noticing Triggers: When are the times you find yourself most apt to compare yourself out? Who or what tends to trigger feelings of not being "enough" or "behind"?

2. Reframing Any Envy You Feel: Think of a recent moment where you felt envy or comparison.

What do you admire about the other person? What does this tell you about what you might want more of in your own life?

3.Returning to Your Path: What makes your personal journey unique? what is one area of your life that you're proud of how far that you've come; even if doesn't look like anyone else's?

4. Having a Gratitude Practice: List 3 things you are grateful for about yourself or your journey at this present moment. Focus on internal qualities not external achievements.

5. Rewriting Affirmations: Write an affirmation you can you when comparison shows up such as ( " I honor path. I'm not behind. I am aligned.")

I hope you'll start as they say in 12 Step Programs  instead of " comparing yourself out", you'll start "relating in" instead!


Peace, Love, And Compassion.

Tracing Your Triggers

Image
  Good morning Followers!      Lately, I have found myself dealing with old wounds and triggers. I realized as a result of my tools that these triggers are very much in the past and I can name them, take my space, allow my body and mind some time to cool down and ground, and then deal with the situation more healthily.     Growing up in a family of dysfunction, I reacted in an impulsive, emotional way. I learned unhealthy survival passive-aggressive forms of communication and often didn't allow the other person to speak. I heard something from a distorted scared child's brain and body and in turn, took things personally, attacked back, or dissociated and shut down to preserve safety, and last but not least retreated and fawned.   After years of trauma work, I realize my lack of healthy coping mechanisms, communication skills, and emotional maturity have caused me and many others pain.

Identifying Potential Roadblocks with Clarity

Let me start off with Merriam Webster's definitions of the word "clarity": https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/clarity For this blog we will be looking at both definition a & b. a :  the quality of being easily understood. b :  the state of having a full, detailed, and orderly mental grasp of something. Now, why define the word clarity you ask? Because it underlies our very topic we are discussing today.  Another term we need to get out of the way is "The Clarity Paradox" https://www.selfimprovementdailytips.com/podcast/the-clarity-paradox Now that we've gotten those terms out of the way, let's get into Kimberly Rich's  "Identifying Your Roadblocks" (Taken from her Future- Self Life Coaching Course on Transformation Academy). As with the past couple of blogs, I will share my personal answers with the questions. Objective: Spot Your Clarity Disruptors Target: What could be blurring your clear vision and ...
