We are constantly comparing our lives to others, and when we think we aren’t as successful or further along than we should be, we feel as if we are inadequate or failures.
We cannot allow ourselves to get swallowed up by feelings of inadequacy or failure. It’s important to remember that we all move at a different pace, accomplishing tasks at a different rate than others. Each person has their own path to follow, and those of us with anxiety are no exception. Our path just requires a few more steps and a bit more work.
- Remind ourselves often that others are on a different path
- Take breaks from social media
- Set realistic and obtainable goals
- Focus on where we are and not where we think we should be
- Keep working on managing our anxiety
- Take time to appreciate the progress we make
With love & support, Molly
