I HAVE A CONFESSION 👀😭
Comparison has got the best of me (or shall I say the worst of me) these past few weeks.
I found myself doom scrolling and the reality of me not being where I want to be, weighed heavily on me.
I think we all fall into that trap from time to time.
But…
When I find myself in this funk, I try to flood my life with gratitude and prayer.
Because I will not let one breath,
one second,
one gift,
one possession,
one relationship,
one blessing,
be taken for granted.
If you feel like you’re in a funk lately, what can you write out on your gratitude list? What can you thank God for, things big or small?
This practice might not make you magically feel like unicorns and rainbows, but it surely helps right size your perspective.
You and I are blessed. And comparison will always try to rob us of that truth.

It's tough when comparison steals your peace. I know the feeling of looking at everyone else's highlight reels and wondering why my life isn't there yet. That's why I made a heartfelt confession about my recent struggles. It truly felt like I was just trying to survive some days, but then I remembered the power of gratitude. When I find myself in that dark place, feeling overwhelmed, I actively choose to shift my focus. I started writing down three things every single day, no matter how small, that I was genuinely thankful for. It could be as simple as a warm cup of coffee, the sun shining, or a kind word from a friend. This practice, combined with moments of quiet reflection, has been my lifeline. It helps me to look directly at my own life, with my hands clasped, not in defeat, but in acknowledgment of all the blessings I do have. It's not about ignoring challenges, but about building resilience. This daily habit of gratitude helps me rebuild my perspective, reminding me that even in the toughest times, there's always something to be thankful for, helping me not just get through, but truly thrive and find a way to survive the mental storms that comparison can bring. You're not alone in these feelings, and finding your own gratitude practice can make all the difference.
Comparison can be bad or good depending on the extent that you do it. Don’t let it turn to jealousy.
