OK Dear Readers, you were on a roll celebrating your small wins as discussed in the fourth installments of this series…. Until you hit a wall. You’ve run into an old acquaintance who tells how amazing life has been. There you are attempting to speak in a normal voice and hiding the fact that you are gasping for air as you hear the great things s/he has achieved. Are you now feeling upset or discouraged by your lack of progress? How long will you let anger and resentment fester inside until you can’t take it anymore and shout to whoever will listen that life is not fair and yours should be so much better?
Does any of this sound familiar, Dear Readers? In all the years of your adult life, has this vicious mental game ever brought you closer to where you want to be Dear Readers? So why do you keep engaging in such a destructive pattern of behavior?
The Fifth Mindset for SUCCESS to adopt is: TO STOP COMPARING YOURSELF TO OTHERS.
Take responsibility for your life, be brutally honest with yourself, and put in the work to become the best version of yourself.
This blog recognizes that this mindset is probably one of the most challenging talents to cultivate. Dear Readers, it might be easier to sit around sulking over the false perception that everyone else’s life has been easy. Yet, this is not conducive to reaching your goal and it’s a waste of time. Do you even have any time to waste? The JMS team certainly hopes not!
Let’s be productive and explore the ways you can concretely rewire your brain to stop comparing yourself to others for good. Here are a few hacks you can introduce now to help you bring in the sweet vibes of success in 2020:
- Limit distractions and opportunities to lurk on someone else’s social media page. Be ruthless and remove all apps from your phone.
- Slow things down to take stock of the journey traveled so far. Take a moment to reminisce about the hard and good times and recognize that you are a different person today. You are stronger and will overcome whatever life throws your way as you are determined to succeed.
- Focus inward and decide what are your true priorities right this moment as you are reading this post. In this post, Dear Readers, this blog has hashed out how to be strategic with your time and manifest your 2020 goals now.
