Have you tried opening up Facebook and noticed someone’s amazing vacation, or the new car or house they’ve bought, or the wonderful celebration with their loved ones, and just felt worse about yourself?
If yes, then you’re slipping into comparison, something we all do.
All these unfiltered comparisons only lead  to insecurity, fear, self-doubt, and negative beliefs.
The moment we compare ourselves to others, especially the things we see on social media, we steal from the joy that’s always available to us.
As Theodore Roosevelt said, comparison is the thief of joy.
Today, I’ll give tips and advice to help you get unstuck from the comparison trap.

Every time we do something we don't want to do, we are working against our own interests, forcing our drive to  come from outside pressure and not from within.
In the long run, trying to force ourselves to do something can work, but you don’t enjoy the process and often end up burnt out.
Transformation happens when we shift from ‘what we should do’ to ‘what we want to do’.
Accessing our inner voice allows us to hear what our body and soul wants. 
Listening to this little voice empowers us to do things that we truly believe in. It’s a place of fulfillment, joy, and productivity led by inspired actions.
Today, I talk about accessing inspiration, tapping into your inner voice, and finding your inner cheerleader, especially in those moments where you feel like giving up.
Episode Quotes
"Don't force yourself to do something that you don't want to do." 
"Your inner voice is a safe, loving, and comforting guidance."
"It's these little moments that make up our happiness in our life."
Shownotes
03:17 - Accessing inspiration - "Don't force yourself to do things"
10:01 - Listening and trusting your inner voice 
14:58 - Finding your inner cheerleader
