My name is Abby, and I struggle with comparison. 🙋🏻♀️
Don’t get me wrong, there are certainly some upsides to social media, but it can also lead to a pretty rough version of the comparison game if we’re not careful. 💞
It sometimes feels like everyone else must have more hours in their day than me– they can make the perfect meals and get their kids to all of their activities on time and have the perfect home and always look put together, etc., etc., etc. 🤔
So one day I decided to take myself out of the game. 🙅🏻♀️
I sat down and made a list of the things that were priorities to *me*. Instead of looking outward and feeling like I didn’t measure up, I sketched out my version of what an ideal day would look like. 📝
✝️ I wanted to make sure I spent time reading my Bible each day.
💙 I wanted to spend quality time with my husband and kids.
💪 I wanted to move my body and get my endorphins flowing.
🏡 I wanted to have routines in place that allowed our home to feel calm and welcoming rather than hectic and busy.
You get the idea.
I took my list and identified the habits I needed to develop to make these successful days a reality. I planned out exactly where those habits would fit into my day. And then I just worked on showing up consistently. 🔄
Over time, those habits became woven into the fabric of my days so that I began doing them without even thinking about it. They no longer feel like work! 🥳
And after staying consistent with them over time, that string of ideal-to-me days has become an imperfect yet incredibly joy-filled life. No comparison necessary. 🥰
