Death By Comparison

One of the worst things you can do is compare yourself to someone else.

And unfortunately, social media has created a “Culture of Comparison” that’s extremely unhealthy … not to mention destructive to your fitness goals.

That “influencer” with the 6-pack abs who can do pull-ups for days hasn’t been on the same journey you’re on. Maybe they don’t have kids, a 9-5 job, endless Zoom meetings and laundry to do.

In my experience, the people who say the most on social media are often the ones who are doing the least.

In order to get what you want, you need to earn it with YOUR actions … not someone else’s.

Same goes for the person across the room who’s lifting 200 pounds to your 75. They’re not you. They didn’t start when you started. And when they started, I guarantee they weren’t lifting 200 pounds.

So why should you expect to? :-)

Don’t believe the hype.

Don’t try to live up to it, either.

Just do you and you’ll be fine.
