Comparison is the thief of joy, and it's as relevant today as it was decades ago.
Comparison is often said to be the thief of joy, and in this episode of 'Happiness Is An Inside Job', Lynda Emmett explores how comparing ourselves to others can create unnecessary stress. With her background as a Life and Neuroscience Coach, Clinical Hypnotherapist, and Rapid Transformation Therapist, Lynda shares her insights on why we fall into the trap of comparison and how it impacts our mental well-being.
She explains how social media exacerbates this issue by allowing us to compare ourselves not just to our neighbours but to people all over the world. Lynda highlights that while curiosity and the desire to evolve are natural human traits, they can lead us down a stressful path if not managed mindfully. She recounts her own experiences of feeling inadequate by comparing herself to others in business and personal life, offering a relatable perspective for anyone struggling with similar feelings.
The episode also touches on the importance of gratitude and self-acceptance, emphasising that true happiness comes from within rather than from external validation. By shifting focus from others to ourselves, we can better appreciate our unique qualities and achievements. Lynda encourages listeners to identify their true desires and set personal goals free from societal expectations. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to break free from the cycle of comparison and live a more content and stress-free life.
