Below are some prompts and exercises to help you stop comparing yourself to others.
Review
Who do you find yourself comparing yourself to most? What do these people have, do, or represent that makes you measure yourself against them?
What specifically are you comparing? Your skills, appearance, career, relationships, money, creativity, progress, opportunities, or something else?
How do you usually feel after comparing yourself to someone else? Motivated, inspired, behind, jealous, inadequate, angry, discouraged, or something else?
What do you catch yourself assuming about other people's lives that you don't actually know? What parts of their story are invisible to you? Do you think other people do the same thing with you? What do they see?
What does someone else's success make you believe about your own? If someone gets something you want, what story do you immediately tell yourself about what that means for you? What emotions does it evoke in you?
Practice
Highlight Reel: write down 5–10 moments you're genuinely proud of. What about each of them makes you proud?
Hype Squad: imagine you have a team of three people whose job is to hype you up. One knows your work, one knows you personally, and one has watched you overcome difficult things. Write down what each of them would say about you in the most super-fan way.
Plot Twist: think of someone whose success makes you feel behind, jealous, or intimidated. What about their success feels unfair or negative to you? Make a list, validate it, toss it. Now imagine the ways in which their success proves yours is also possible. Make a list and keep that one.
