027 Know Your Competition

So, let's just be honest.  The internet is great.  Because of it we are exposed to and have access to so much information and knowledge, but like everything, too much of a good thing can be damaging.  Things are different and where we used to need a real relationship with someone in order to know what they had going on in their life, we now can see everything they want us to see with just the click of a button.

All of this exposure has caused a rise in feeling of jealousy and unhealthy competition.  You know, those feelings and thoughts of "I wish I had that", or "Is hers better than mine", and that dreaded "If she succeeds, I can't succeed."  This unhealthy cycle is causing many of us to feel depressed, anxious, and pressured. 

Today, I am going to share with you some signs that you may be falling prey to unhealthy competition and share a few tips on how to stay focused on what really matters.  And so, for this episode I want to inspire you to know your competition! 

So who is your true competitions? Why…it’s YOU! You should be your biggest competition. But how? How do you compete with yourself? Easy…be better every day! The way you compete with yourself is to be better today than you were yesterday. To set goals and realistic timelines and meet them. To commit to being consistent. To setting a goal this quarter and reaching it. That’s how you win. By focusing on you. If you can be a better woman today than you were yesterday, you already won. No other competition is needed.
