You can feel the joy being sapped just reading this list!
But is it true? Is comparison really the thief of joy?
Last weekend, a couple of brilliant members of TEAM17 hosted a ‘How to Winter Well' virtual retreat.
In one of the breakouts, I was joined by TEAM17 Member, Bolatito. We were talking about comparison and it being the thief of joy.
I assumed everyone would concur but she disagreed, arguing that it isn't always the case and that you can use comparison in positive ways.
A lively (uplifting) discussion ensued and that made me think:
Here are three simple comparison flips:
1) Rather than be jealous, be inspired.
2) Only compare what you can change - park what you can’t.
3) Know that for everything you want in others, many people would love your life – exactly as it is now.
As we head into the festive season, it's easy to make negative comparisons.
Don’t let them be the thief of Christmas joy.
Be Brilliant
