How to Stop Comparing Yourself to Other People

While we all may try our hardest, it is human nature to compare ourselves to other people from time-to-time. You see a man in the gym and wish you had his muscles. You pass a particularly stylish woman in the street and yearn for her wardrobe. You scroll endlessly on social media and envy the lives of online influencers, longing for their money and the freedom to pick up and travel to wherever you wish.

The tendency to compare yourself to other people is a subconscious behavior, but it is one that is important to keep in check, especially if you find yourself comparing yourself to many people on a daily basis. While this type of social comparison may inspire you to be better, it could also lead to negative thoughts.
