In the wise words of Theodore Roosevelt: "Comparison is the thief of joy". In this day and age, we are hardwired to compare ourselves with others. I have come to the realisation that you need to understand your negative thoughts before you can tackle them. It is fair to say that all of my niggling insecurities are based on unrealistic comparisons.
It is so easy to be envious of other people's lives based on the image they project online but it is important to remember that, for most people, their social networking profiles or blogs only represent a limited part of their existence. For the month of February I am going to make a conscious effort to stop comparing myself with others and focus on being the best version of myself.
I feel driven to identify aspects of my life that are undermining my confidence. I am really looking forward to embracing this journey. Wish me luck!
