Mindful Social Media: Turning Comparison into Motivation
Something I’ve noticed from my time off recentley
(Been on holiday, haven't I?)
Is that when I spend too much time on my phone…
Scrolling Instagram, scrolling Facebook and sometimes even LinkedIn (that last part is very rare. Its shite ha)
I often find myself getting a little DEFLATED
Sometimes even p1ssed off
At what OTHER PEOPLE are up to
And how ‘well’ they SEEM to be doing..
Its normal though..
When you see other people making progress and you don’t feel like you are?
It’s easy to get downbeat, downhearted and beat yourself up and feel like you’re falling behind
I get it.
Sometimes you may even get triggered and start to talk shit about people (I see it all of the time, even in my programs)
But consider that you’ll only feel like that when you’re SPECTATING
When you’re sitting on the sidelines
So treat it as an alarm clock
A reminder, if you like
An alarm clock that any transformation is NOT a SPECTATOR sport
Progress requires participation
If you want to make progress and feel great?
Be clear on what progress actually looks like
Measure it. Track it.
SHOW your brain progress and it won’t have to look for problems
Stop consuming and start creating
You can’t change jack sh1t from the sidelines
Let’s go.
