I love Facebook. I don't always love Facebook. One of the things that is sometimes a thorn in my side, is comparison.
While I am aware that most people (including myself) tend to post the highlights, the BEST that their life has to offer, I still compare. It's like a sh*tty beer that gives me a wicked hangover and I keep drinking it. With ALL of my "less than resourceful" habits, I LEARN from then and things eventually improve.
I have learned that when I am feeling pangs of envy or stabs of comparison that leave me feeling "lesser than," I realize that it's not that I even WANT what someone else has, it's that I am drowning in the regretful sad sack feeling that I am NOT pressing the PLAY button in some area of my life.
So when I am scrolling...sinking... and that tiny violin begins to play a "woe is me" song, I acknowledge my humanity and witness my self induced suffering and I change the song. I mean......I AM THE DJ of my life sound track---PRESS the DAMN PLAY BUTTON.
