How to Battle Feeling Insecure in Business

<p>We feel insecure in our lives and our businesses when we start comparing ourselves to other people. Social media definitely brings in these opportunities to compare. Before it, we would only be able to compare to people that we knew in real life. Now we have an endless amount of highlight reels to compare ourselves to. We have no idea how long it took them to get there, what their failures are, or how they struggled.</p> <p>Each time you start to feel this way, I have some strategies I want you to try. The first thing I want you to do is to write down 5 things you've accomplished this year. Start the sentence with "I did..." and go from there. The next thing I want you to do is to do good and spread good! Cook a meal for a friend, reach out to someone to spread kindness or something that truly makes you and others feel good. The next thing I want you to do is to cultivate your good friendships. And I want you to walk away from friendships that are based solely in commiseration. The last thing I want you to do is to curate your newsfeed. Just because you're friends with someone doesn't mean you need to see their shit in your newsfeed. You can unfollow anyone or anything you don't want to see or that makes you feel insecure.</p> <p>I hope this was helpful in getting these feelings of insecurity under control in your business!</p>
