Summary In this episode, Tonya explores the tendency to compare ourselves to others, why we do it, and its potentially negative impact on our self-confidence and self-worth. She discusses the social comparison theory, the imposter syndrome, and the prevalent images in media as reasons why we compare ourselves to others. Tonya also explains the difference between comparing ourselves to others, overestimating others, and underestimating ourselves. She provides examples of when comparison can be positive and offers tips on how to stop overestimating others and underestimating ourselves. Takeaways Comparing ourselves to others is a natural tendency, but it can be limiting and detrimental to our self-confidence and self-worth. There are instances when comparison can be positive, such as setting benchmarks, gaining perspective, and creating accountability. Overestimating others and underestimating ourselves can distort our perception, lower our self-esteem, lead to inaction, and cause emotional strain. To stop overestimating others and underestimating ourselves, we should recognize our strengths, practice self-compassion, set realistic goals, seek feedback, surround ourselves with positive influences, engage in self-development, and visualize success. We should avoid unfair and inaccurate comparisons, dwelling on past failures, seeking external validation, downplaying our achievements, engaging in negative self-talk, isolating ourselves, and neglecting self-care. Sound Bites "Have you ever felt that others are more capable, more talented or just plain better than you? It's a common feeling." "Comparing ourselves to others is quite normal. We all do it." "Overestimating others and underestimating yourself means when we hold others in higher regard than we do ourselves, often believing that their achievements are greater or their skills superior."

Do you compare your relationship to others? How can you identify and manage your triggers for comparison? Today, Jay introduces the concept of social comparison theory, explaining the differences between upward - where we compare ourselves to those we perceive as better off, can lead to feelings of inadequacy if done with envy rather than a mindset of learning, and downward comparisons which involves comparing ourselves to those worse off, which can provide a temporary boost in self-esteem but is ultimately unproductive and unkind. He shares practical strategies for reducing comparison, such as being mindful of social media usage, identifying personal triggers, and investing in self-improvement. Jay also stresses the importance of understanding the deeper, often hidden aspects of people's lives and why we usually compare our internal struggles with others' external successes, leading to a distorted and unfair self-assessment. In the episode, you'll learn: How to identify your goals How to set mutual goals How to be mindful of your triggers How to invest in self-improvement By seeking deeper connections and understanding the full context of others' lives, we can develop more empathy and reduce the impulse to compare and shift our focus from external comparisons to internal growth and relational strength, ultimately leading to a more fulfilling and authentic life.

The Right State of Mind podcast is a weekly conversation with Charlie Taylor Jr., a licensed therapist in Charlotte, North Carolina, about all things mental health and personal development. In this episode, I discuss the challenges of navigating the day-to-day grind in a fast-paced world with Deena Taylor. We explore topics such as financial stress, the need for side hustles, managing responsibilities with children, setting the tempo for the day, comparing oneself to others, dealing with setbacks, and the importance of self-care and grace. We emphasize the importance of being intentional, practicing grace, and taking care of oneself while working towards goals. The episode concludes with advice for navigating the day-to-day grind and the reminder that time is not slowing down, so it's important to buckle up and stay in the right state of mind. Takeaways: * Financial stress is a common challenge in the day-to-day grind, with many people feeling the need to work multiple jobs to make ends meet. * Comparing oneself to others, especially on social media, can lead to feelings of inadequacy and the belief that one's life is not enough. * Dealing with setbacks is a normal part of the journey towards achieving goals, and it's important to be flexible and adjust plans when necessary. * Self-care is crucial in navigating the day-to-day grind, and it doesn't have to be extravagant or expensive. Taking time for oneself and practicing grace are essential for overall well-being. * Being intentional, managing time effectively, and practicing discipline and consistency are key to successfully navigating the day-to-day grind.

Comparisonitis, the constant habit of comparing ourselves to others, can have a detrimental impact on our well-being, leading to feelings of inadequacy, low self-esteem, and anxiety. When we compare ourselves to others constantly we are taking away from our own authentic self. Overcoming comparisonitis is key to living a happy and successful life that you feel good about. Discover how redirecting our focus from others to our own strengths can lead to a happier and more successful life—one that we genuinely feel good about.

Each of us has an inner voice that can be very loud and persuasive. Hopefully, it's pushing us to do better and reminding us of all we can accomplish. But sometimes it leads us to believe that the theater industry is too hard and constantly tells us we're not good enough or don't deserve an amazing acting career. With an inner critic like that it's gonna be really difficult to motivate ourselves to keep going, to go to that next audition. The very title of this podcast is an example of the ways in which we can stifle our own potential. Yes, training and talent are certainly important too, but it's our mindset that is the key to using our training and talent to their fullest extent. So as we start off this new year, I'm continuing where we left off last week with Brooke McNamara by talking with another psychologist, Alisa Hurwitz. In this episode from 2020, we dive into why mindset is so important, and how we actors can better handle rejection and the challenges we face in this business.

It's tempting to compare yourself to other developers or take skill assessments to see how you measure up, but honestly it's impossible to truly know if you're a good programmer! In this video I share what I've learned over my 25 year career as a programmer, software architect, and consultant that I hope reduces any anxiety you may have around your self worth. To start this off: why do we even care if we're good programmer? Well first of all, the people who depend on us to do a good job as a developer need to know we're competent and can get the job done. Basically our coworkers have expectations, and we want to meet them. The second main reason I see people caring how good they are, and is the bigger focus of this episode, is comparing themselves to others! With social media (especially LinkedIn) and other influential people showing off their accomplishments, we often wonder how we measure up. But that's a dangerous game. How do we try to assess how good of programmers we are? The first way is skill assessments like tests, bootcamp outcomes, certifications etc. And while these can help, I don't put much stock in them. They usually have a very focused and narrow view. The second way is looking at what we've accomplished in our career as programmers. Have we produced good output for the company? Have we been able to get features out in a reasonable time? The third way is getting feedback! While performance reviews can help, asking another developer, manager, or another trusted professional for explicit feedback is a great way to find out. There are two reasons why I don't believe we can really know how good we are. The first is that we don't have a standard definition of what makes a good programmer. There are so many skills we need! Coding, testing, DevOps, wiki topics, scrum, kanban, data science - it's crazy. And that's only the technical and process stuff. There are also all of our personality traits like openness, coachability, motivation and such. The second reason why we can't really know how good we are is based on the Dunning-Kruger effect. I left a link below where you can read more about it. But it explains what I experienced in my career. That I went through a progression of growing confidence until I realized my own incompetence, then had to build it all over again. We go through these cycles of high and low confidence uniquely for every skill we use as a programmer! So be kind to yourself. It's practically impossible to know how good you are, because we're all different, and we're all growing different skills at different times! You can also watch this episode on YouTube.

I don't know if it's because we've spent most of the past year on our phones and away from our normal communities, but it seems like I'm seeing more people than usual open up about their struggles with comparison. As you know, I'm no stranger to that struggle and many conversations on this show have focused on it. This week I wanted to share some thoughts I've had on my heart lately about my own struggles with comparison, but more specifically how I've begun to find rest from the exhausting race of comparison. Why spend any of that precious time chasing after what others have instead of enjoying what God has already given you? When we begin to rewire our brain and our hearts to be in line with this, it actually becomes the most freeing thing in the world. We no longer have to worry. We don’t have to run. We no longer have to be caught up in the rat race of comparison. We don’t have to exhaust ourselves. Instead, we can rest in the fact that God created us out of love to be great in the way He designed us to be great and use that greatness to bless others. -- We've been going through a devotional series on my newsletter focused on comparison.

As a mom, you are special. Though, it is easy to give so much of yourself to your loved ones and care about others' needs. In the midst of all you do for your others, it is important for YOU to find the proper time and space to focus on your self-compassion and enrich your inner strength.In this episode, Jodi speaks with Helen Abelesz, who is a women's life coach. Helen shares her insights regarding how to integrate a sense of self compassion into your life. After listening, you will walk away with practical tips to help you pursue self-compassion so that you can strive to be your best self. 2:00 Introducing Helen Abelesz“I help women, especially moms, who are feeling overwhelmed, and stressed, and who are hard on themselves, and feeling bad about themselves to find those inner strengths”5:05: What is Self-Compassion?“We don't notice the everyday things that we are succeeding in, we tend to focus on what's not working. And so for me, self-compassion is just being real and noticing when we are succeeding ” 8:00: Comparing Ourselves to Others“I think if we would focus on doing more of what we are doing well as opposed to what we are not doing well (...) it's a much lighter way of living and we are much less critical and negative” 10:30: Tips on How to Incorporate Self-Compassion Into Your Life“What are the negative messages that you are giving to yourself and then to notice that their just a thought (...) it's not necessarily based on reality”12:55: Replacing negative messages with positive affirmations“Any sentence, it doesn't matter which one. You have to choose one that really speaks to you that really encapsulates what you're feeling and helps to bring you up"15:15: Impacts of saying positive affirmations and how long it takes for such statements to affect us“We have these thoughts, mostly, ‘I'm not a good mom' and ‘I am not enough.' And so saying the powerful, the positive words it goes in, slowly, slowly it seeps in and you start to believe it more and more.” Want to connect with Helen?Check out her website or Facebook page.You can also email her at: helenabelesz@gmail.comAlso, check out Helen's Free Gift hereCredits:Host: Jodi FriedGuest: Helen AbeleszEditor: Matthew Feiler

This is a topic I've wanted to cover for a while now since I caught myself doing it for so long. Whether you're comparing your body to how it has been in the past, or your situation, I urge you to stop. I made this mistake of living in the past and idolizing this version of myself that was no longer. It was exhausting, unhealthy + hindering me from living in and enjoying the moment. I explain how we should be working on our present and future self being the happiest, healthiest, strongest, etc. Hope this can help some of you that may feel this same way!

Missed my radio story on PBS Radio today? Grab a cuppa! Here is Chapter 1 – A Different Dance, full and uninterrupted. Friendly note: it’s a work of fiction and includes some strong language here and there. Story synopsis: Joy loves words and comes from a poor single-mum family. Yolanda loves dance and comes from a middle-class family. The story is set in the fictional City of Baxter (a poor local council) in an unnamed Australian city. The action happens around the local library, community centre, council offices and different characters’ homes. Themes of corruption, adultery and hypocrisy swim around these two teenage girls who just want to be heard. Now what? JoYOLO is evolving into an unexpected series. Chapter 1 was initially written as a standalone short story, but I keep writing. Chapters 2 and 3 are done and I’d love to produce them for radio. Just have to work out how! Thank you PBS 106.7FM Melbourne for the Collaborative Radio Project. It definitely helped me test ideas for Chapter 1. Onward and upwards!
