THE COMPARISON GAME - Self-sabotage .. we all do it. We tend to set ourselves up for failure so that just in case we don’t do well, we have an excuse. One way we do this is by comparing ourselves to others. Taking the “heat” off of ourselves by stalking what everyone else is doing is a sure-fire way to self-sabotage our personal success. There are numerous ways to shift the focus to our OWN thoughts and goals, but we first must accept that it is a thing. A REAL thing. YOUR challenge… take these next few weeks to focus on YOU. Celebrate YOUR wins, what YOU are doing well. Sounds cliche, sure, but don’t knock it until you try it. You’d be surprised at how often you criticize versus REALIZE your #wins.
