“Comparison is the thief of joy”.

How often do we compare ourselves to others? All of the time!

Society puts a tremendous amount of attention on youth and beauty.

We have to be aware of how we talk to ourselves and how we treat ourselves. Some of the critical things we say internally we would never say to anyone else.

Women tend to be caretakers. The only problem is that we usually take care of everyone else but us. We’re not only last on our list, but our needs might not even make it to the list!

So, this Valentine’s Day, make sure you love the most important person in the world, YOU! If you catch yourself comparing yourself in an unhealthy way to others, stop.

Let me leave you with another quote I love from Carrie Wilkerson, “There is only one you. Everyone else is taken.”
