Transcript

Come back to yourself. A guided meditation on comparison. Self-worth. And your own journey. Find a comfortable position. Allow your shoulders to soften. Unclench your jaw. And let your hands rest. Naturally. Take a slow, Deep breath in. And gently release. Again, Breathing in and breathe out. For these next few minutes. Give yourself permission. To stop measuring your life. Against anyone else's. There is nowhere you need to be. Nothing you need to prove. And no one. You need to catch up to. You are here. Is enough. Think for a moment. About how often we compare ourselves. Without even realizing it. Someone else's relationship. Their career. Their appearance. Their own. Their accomplishments. We see someone living a life. That looks beautiful from the outside. And suddenly. . . We begin questioning. RO. Am I doing enough? Am I where I should be? Why don't I have that? Take a deep breath in… and release. Recognize that comparison often asks us to judge. Our entire existence. Against a tiny glimpse of someone else's. We don't see their doubts. Their disappointments. Their private struggles. Or the things they wish were different. We are comparing. Are behind the scenes. To someone else's carefully selected moments. And that. Is not a fair comparison. Take another deep breath in… and a slow breath out. Imagine now that. All the expectations you've placed on yourself. You the timelines. The milestones. The invisible competition. Imagine setting those goals. Down beside you. You don't have to accomplish everything by a certain age. You. Don't have to look a certain way to deserve love. Ew. Don't have to have the same relationship. Career. Family. Or lifestyle. As someone else. To be living a meaningful life. Someone else's success does not make you less successful. Someone else's success. Does not make you. Successful. Someone else's beauty. Does not diminish your own. Someone else's happiness. Is not evidence. Of your lack of it. There is room for all of us to experience good things. You are not falling behind. You are living a life. That is uniquely yours. Now bring your attention back to your breath. And think about the person that you were. Five years ago. Picture that in your mind now. Think about what you may have survived. In those five years. What you've learned. What you've outgrown. You Think about the quiet victories nobody applauded. Think about the mornings. You got up. When things felt difficult. Think about the moments you chose yourself. The times that you kept going. Without knowing exactly where you were headed. You may not be everything you once imagined. You to be. But perhaps. . . You've become someone your younger self needed. And that. Deserves recognition too. Instead of asking. How am I doing compared to everyone else? Try asking yourself. Am I becoming someone I feel proud to be? Am I making room? For the things that genuinely matter to me. Am I allowing myself to enjoy the life? I'm actually living. Take one final deep breath in. And slowly release. Repeat silently to yourself. I do not need to compete to be worthy. Do not need to compare. To know my value. Bye. Can admire someone else's journey without abandoning my own. I am allowed to grow at my own pace. Am allowed to be a work in progress. And die. I'm allowed. To be happy with where I am. While still dreaming about where I'm going. And when you're ready. Gently open your eyes. And come back. To yourself. Your life. Is not a race. And you have not missed. Your turn. Be uniquely you. And be well.
