I Only Compare Myself To Myself

When we compare ourselves to others, we set ourselves up for disappointment, because the journey they took to get where they are is unique to them and them only. We can only be ourselves, and therefore, should only compare ourselves to ourselves! Today’s affirmations are about breaking the habit of comparison.

Welcome to Charm Words,

Your daily reminder to be good to yourself and others.

My name's Zola,

And together,

We're going to breathe in the good.

Breathe out the bad and use words to remind ourselves of our worth.

When we compare ourselves to others,

We set ourselves up for disappointment because the journey they took to get where they are is unique to them and them only.

We can only be ourselves and therefore should only compare ourselves to ourselves.

Today's charm words are about breaking the habit of comparison.

Let's do some belly breathing.

Then we'll do our affirmations.

When you breathe in,

Use your nose and keep your shoulders still.

Once your belly fills up like a balloon,

Breathe out through your mouth by just letting go.

In through your nose,

Out through the mouth.

Ready?

Take a gentle deep breath slowly through your nose and breathe out through your mouth.

In through your nose,

Out through your mouth.

Breathe in,

Breathe out.

One more time,

Breathe in and breathe out.

Today's charm words are,

I only compare myself to myself.

Repeat after me.

Ready?

Awesome!

Always remember that you are unique.

On the count of three,

High five the person closest to you.

Or clap your hands together and high five yourself.

Ready?

Three.

These charm words are yours to keep.
