Realize that you\u2019re not competing against anyone besides yourself.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nSocial media has made us all believe that we need to be celebrities in order to feel good about ourselves. And no matter what we accomplish in life, it pales in comparison to what everyone else seems to be achieving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Women are stressed out because they don\u2019t look like supermodels, while guys are fuming because they can\u2019t afford yachts and lambos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And even though most of what we see on the gram is heavily exaggerated (or completely fake), it can still mess with our sense of self-worth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In fact, there\u2019s no better way to make yourself feel like a slacker than scrolling through your IG feed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But here\u2019s the real issue\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anytime we feel bad when looking at something we\u2019d like to have (e.g., a car, house, girl, etc.), we\u2019re associating negativity to that object. Which means, to some degree, we\u2019re telling our brains:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis a BAD thing. Keep it away from me.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nIf you want your life to improve, then it\u2019s useful to train yourself to feel excitement and appreciation (instead of envy and emptiness) whenever you see something you\u2019d like to have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This works with money, women, and everything else you can think of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The way I do this is by treating social media like a game. You win the game whenever you have ZERO emotional reaction to everything you see in your news feed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There shouldn\u2019t be any negative emotions or judgements, or even POSITIVE emotions generated from anything that you see (at least, not at first).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At most, I might appreciate the artistic composition of a picture, but other than that, I\u2019ll keep myself in a neutral emotional state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In other words, nothing I\u2019m looking at has any importance to me, whatsoever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If I can pull that off, it means I won that round. If I slip up, then I\u2019ll quickly catch myself reacting to something and aim to do better next time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once I\u2019m \u201cwinning\u201d consistently, I then start bringing up feelings of appreciation anytime I come across something I\u2019d like to have in my life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My thought process sounds like this: \u201cThat person achieved it which means that I can, too, if I put the work in.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nThis puts me in the right frame of mind to start moving towards the things I want without resistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Remember, the idea that you\u2019re competing with random strangers in a zero-sum game is just an illusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In fact, there\u2019s nobody out there to compete with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While you might see Tyler Durden on the other side on the net sending blistering volleys your way, in reality, you\u2019ve been hitting a tennis ball against the wall the whole time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So put the idea of competition aside and focus on becoming a slightly better version of yourself each day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And if you need some help with your ass kicking efforts, I have one last slot available for 1-on-1 coaching. Reach out to me and let me know what you\u2019d like help with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ciao for now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
