### Episode 2: The Addiction of Seeking Approval — Dangers of Social Comparison 🌍⚖️

Have you ever found yourself scrolling through social media, feeling a knot tighten in your stomach as you compare your life to the seemingly perfect lives of others? It’s a familiar scene: the bright smiles, the exotic holidays, the flawless bodies. But what if I told you that this constant comparison is not just a harmless pastime? It’s a dangerous addiction that can erode your self-worth and happiness, leaving you feeling inadequate and lost. If you’ve ever felt the sting of envy or the weight of seeking approval, you’re in the right place. Let’s dive into the dangers of social comparison and discover how to break free from its grip.

*If you missed our previous episode, where we explored how the fear of rejection can hold you back from being your true self, be sure to check it out [here](https://njump.me/nevent1qqs26vpfqc2ujy6tfpm5v6rq4jdu2acx8vxe55e596yfhrlr5arh6sqpzemhxue69uhhwmm59ehx7um5wgh8qctjw3uj7q3q2u56mxg60cxt3zt3emfrfp6czptep4g3vzsfkgksmreeefmzmcgsxpqqqqqqz55w4cc).*

#### The Comparison Trap 😩

Social comparison is a natural human tendency; we often measure our worth against others. However, when this becomes a habit, it can lead to feelings of inadequacy and self-doubt. You might find yourself constantly seeking validation from others, believing that their approval is the key to your happiness. But here’s the kicker: this cycle can be incredibly damaging to your mental health and self-esteem.

#### The Illusion of Perfection 🌈

Social media often presents a curated version of reality—a highlight reel that showcases only the best moments. It’s easy to forget that behind those perfect photos and seemingly flawless lives, everyone has their struggles. When you compare your everyday life to someone else’s highlights, you’re setting yourself up for disappointment.

This illusion of perfection can lead to a distorted self-image. You may start to believe that you’re not good enough, smart enough, or successful enough. The truth is, everyone has their battles, and no one is immune to the challenges of life.

#### Breaking Free from the Comparison Cycle 🔓

So, how do you escape the clutches of social comparison? Here are some actionable steps to help you reclaim your sense of self-worth:

1. **Limit Social Media Exposure**: Consider taking a break from social media or curating your feed to include accounts that inspire and uplift you rather than those that trigger feelings of inadequacy.

2. **Practice Gratitude**: Shift your focus from what others have to what you appreciate in your own life. Keep a gratitude journal and jot down three things you’re thankful for each day. This simple practice can help you cultivate a more positive mindset.

3. **Focus on Your Journey**: Remember that everyone’s path is unique. Instead of comparing your progress to others, concentrate on your own goals and achievements. Celebrate your milestones, no matter how small!

4. **Engage in Self-Reflection**: Take time to reflect on your values and what truly matters to you. When you have a clear sense of your own identity, it becomes easier to resist the urge to compare yourself to others.

5. **Challenge Comparison Thoughts**: When you catch yourself comparing, pause and ask, “What evidence do I have that supports this thought?” Often, you’ll find that it’s based on assumptions rather than reality.

6. **Cultivate Self-Compassion**: Be gentle with yourself. Acknowledge that it’s okay to feel insecure at times, but remind yourself that your worth isn’t determined by how you measure up to others.

7. **Surround Yourself with Positivity**: Seek out friends and communities that encourage you to be your authentic self. Positive relationships can help you feel more secure and less inclined to compare.

8. **Engage in Activities You Love**: Spend time doing things that bring you joy and fulfilment. Whether it’s a hobby, sport, or creative pursuit, immersing yourself in activities you love can boost your self-esteem and distract you from comparison.

9. **Seek Professional Guidance**: Remember, there are various professionals who can help you navigate these feelings. Coaches, mentors, and supportive friends can provide valuable insights and encouragement on your journey.

10. **Embrace Your Uniqueness**: Celebrate what makes you, *you*! Your individuality is your strength, and embracing it can help you break free from the need for external validation.

The addiction of seeking approval through social comparison can be a dangerous cycle, but it’s one you can break. By focusing on your own journey and cultivating self-compassion, you can reclaim your sense of worth and authenticity. Remember, you are enough just as you are.

Join me next time as we continue to explore the journey of self-discovery and the importance of embracing your true self. Until then, be kind to yourself and celebrate your uniqueness! 🫂❤️

Stay tuned for Episode 3! 🌟

Cheers,

### **Revenge is Cancer — Is It Worth It?**

Have you ever found yourself consumed by thoughts of revenge? Perhaps someone wronged you, and the desire to retaliate has taken root in your mind, festering like a wound that refuses to heal. It’s a common human impulse, but what if I told you that this yearning for vengeance is not just a fleeting emotion? It can be as destructive as a disease, eating away at your life and well-being. In fact, the very act of holding onto revenge can manifest in ways that are detrimental to your health, even leading to conditions like cancer. So, let’s explore why revenge is not only unproductive but also harmful, and how you can break free from its grasp.

#### The Implications of Revenge

Revenge may seem sweet in theory, a way to reclaim power and restore balance. However, the reality is far more insidious. When you allow thoughts of revenge to dominate your mind, you’re essentially inviting a toxic guest into your life. This negativity can lead to chronic stress, which in turn elevates cortisol levels—your body’s primary stress hormone. Prolonged exposure to high cortisol can wreak havoc on your immune system, disrupt your sleep, and even contribute to serious health issues, including heart disease and cancer.

Moreover, revenge hinders personal growth. Instead of moving forward and focusing on your own happiness, you become trapped in a cycle of bitterness and resentment. It’s like trying to drive a car while constantly looking in the rear-view mirror—you’ll never reach your destination.

#### The Cost of Holding On

Imagine carrying a heavy backpack filled with stones. Each stone represents a grudge, a slight, or a desire for revenge. Over time, that weight becomes unbearable, affecting your mental and physical health. You may find yourself feeling anxious, depressed, or even physically unwell. The energy you expend on revenge could be better used to nurture your passions, relationships, and personal development.

#### Actionable Solutions to Let Go

So, how do you release this burden and reclaim your life? Here are some compassionate, actionable steps you can take:

1. **Practice Self-Hypnosis**: This powerful tool allows you to access your subconscious mind and reframe your thoughts. Through guided imagery and relaxation techniques, you can visualise a peaceful resolution to your grievances, helping you to let go of the anger and resentment that’s been holding you back. Self-hypnosis focuses on creating a mental space where you can rewrite your narrative, freeing yourself from the chains of revenge.

2. **Engage in Mindfulness**: While self-hypnosis is about altering your subconscious beliefs, mindfulness encourages you to be present in the moment. By practising mindfulness, you can observe your thoughts and feelings without judgment, allowing you to acknowledge the pain of betrayal without letting it consume you. This practice helps reduce stress and anxiety, making it easier to release negative emotions.

3. **Explore Past Life Regression**: This therapeutic technique can provide insights into your current emotional struggles. By understanding the root causes of your feelings, you can work towards healing and forgiveness, freeing yourself from the chains of revenge. It’s a unique way to explore how past experiences may be influencing your present mindset.

4. **Choose to Forgive**: It’s essential to understand that forgiveness is not about condoning the actions of those who have wronged you; it’s about liberating yourself from the burden of resentment. You choose to forgive not for the person who has hurt you, but for your own peace of mind. By letting go of the need for revenge, you reclaim your power and open the door to healing.

5. **Surround Yourself with the Right People**: The company you keep can significantly influence your mindset. Seek out friends and loved ones who encourage positivity and growth, rather than those who fuel your desire for revenge. A supportive network can help you stay focused on your healing journey.

6. **Seek Professional Support**: While therapists can be incredibly helpful, they are not the only option. Consider life coaches, support groups, or even trusted friends who can provide guidance and encouragement. The key is to find someone who resonates with you and can help you navigate your feelings in a constructive way.

In the end, revenge is a poison that seeps into every aspect of your life, hindering your growth and well-being. It’s time to recognise that holding onto these negative emotions is not worth the toll it takes on your health. By embracing forgiveness and focusing on your own journey, you can free yourself from the shackles of revenge and step into a brighter, healthier future. Remember, you deserve to live a life filled with joy, peace, and purpose—don’t let revenge steal that from you.

Cheers,

M💋
