Deep dives
Overcoming Comparison and Feeling Stuck
One common struggle many people face is the tendency to compare themselves to others, especially when they feel stuck in certain areas of their lives. Comparing yourself to those who are more advanced or successful can be demoralizing and hinder your progress. The key is to shift your perspective and use comparison as a source of inspiration rather than self-doubt. Focus on your own journey, set realistic goals, and celebrate your own achievements. Remember that everyone has their own unique path and timing. When it comes to dating and feeling stuck with a timeline, it's important to be patient and trust that things will unfold at the right time. Avoid comparing your dating progress to others and instead focus on building a healthy and fulfilling connection with yourself first. Take the time to reflect on what you truly desire in a partner and be open to possibilities without rushing or settling. Remember, you are on your own journey, and comparison should not define your worth or dictate the pace of your life.
Changing Inner Monologue to Inner Dialogue
One technique to address negative thoughts and worst-case scenario thinking is to change the inner monologue to an inner dialogue. Instead of thinking, 'I am unlovable and everything is shit,' separate yourself from those thoughts and engage in a dialogue with them as if they were your best friend. By creating space and talking to the part of you that feels flooded, you can access your logic brain, dial down the intensity of the nervous system reaction, and explore options and choices.
Shifting Perspective and Taking Control
To overcome the scarcity mindset, comparison trap, and negative bias, it's important to shift perspective and take control of your media ingestion and inner dialogue. Mute or unfollow accounts that trigger negative feelings and consciously choose what you expose yourself to. Instead of asking 'why' when feeling stuck or anxious, focus on what choices are available to you and what you are willing to say 'yes' to. Making small 'micro-yeses' can lead to progress and help you get unstuck.
