Comparison Is An Avoidance Tactic

𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜.⁣

And it’s total bull shit.⁣

Listen, it’s normal to feel jealous and a little competitive. That “grass is greener” type of stuff is inevitable.⁣

But if the compulsion to compare is so often for you, that it’s getting in the way of running your business - the empathy I have for you won’t last long.⁣

And that’s because you’re letting your ego 𝘸𝘪𝘯. ⁣

If you were to really put yourself out there and hear crickets, your ego would be bruised.⁣


If you were to really not give a f*ck what others were doing or what they thought of you, you could be susceptible to their judgement or their rejection.⁣

So it’s easier to compare, it’s easier to focus on what’s 𝘯𝘰𝘵 working for you and what 𝘪𝘴 working for them.⁣

𝐑𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐚 𝐨𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞 - jealousy about what someone else is doing or what someone else has is your way of saying that you think they’re happy, and that’s what you want to be.⁣

Let’s say you’re a Mindset Coach who uses human design in their business.⁣

⁣If you grew up around people who used human design often and who thought running a coaching business from social media was the norm, you wouldn’t be constantly questioning if they think what you’re doing online is weird.⁣

⁣And that’s because your paradigm, which is defined as a pattern of being or a model, is different than what they’re used to.

And typically, people who aren’t committed to mindset work or personal development aren’t actively changing their paradigm.⁣⁣ 

There’s nothing wrong with what you’re doing, it’s just 𝘥𝘪𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵 from the paradigm that the people around you have used to.⁣ 

⁣When you’re around people who get what you’re doing, whether that’s in person or online, it’s less likely you’ll question if what you’re doing is 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 or 𝘸𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘨.⁣

How to Stop Feeling Like a Fraud

Are you letting imposter syndrome run your biz?
 
As I designed the template for the new version of my website, my excitement grew to anxiousness as I continued to add text, move pictures around, and hit Save whenever I finished a section. Thoughts began surfacing that I found all too familiar - Will anyone even buy this? Am I asking for too much? Who am I to charge others for my time? It was a mental dance that I knew all too well. After an hour, I shut my laptop down without finishing the page, feeling defeated.
 
I present to you, imposter syndrome in its worst form; self-sabotage.
 
Imposter syndrome is the psychological phenomenon in which a person doubts their abilities or accomplishments and has a persistent, internalized fear of being exposed as a fraud.
