Comparing yourself to others...

[london_lad1986]

Not posted for a while but I am a regular reader of the forums, I thought I would share this..

I find my biggest issue with women / self-esteem is I constantly compare myself to others...alot of the time unfairly...In looks and intelligience and career.

For example I compare myself to people 5 years my senior and think "why haven't I got what he's got?"

I think I focus on material possesions too much...anyone else do this as constantly as me?

Do a Google search on "envy". You will probably come upon some useful info regarding your issue.

Mental imagery helps in this situation IMO. Just picture them as everyday people like you and me because thats all they are. All the stuff they have financially or materially, use it as a goal to push you to succeed. There is nothing stopping you from having what they have. It's all in your mind.
