the cost of comparison

tuesday on my mindset

I used to fantasize a lot…..

What would it be like to have an additional bedroom when guests came to visit or a kitchen with a huge island for social gatherings and events. Or gasp a second bathroom 🙏🏽🙏🏽

I would walk into friend's homes and immediately begin sizing our space up. And without fail, leave feeling discontent and maybe, a little embarrassed? Like us still making it work in a one bedroom apartment meant we had failed with our lives or something 😞

And then there's IG. Perfectly curated homes complete with on-suite bathrooms and whole rooms to work out in. Though to be fair, I never really get jealous until I see the patios and decks. What's better than square footage. A balcony friends. That's the dream right there.

It was exhausting. And it went on and on … until one day. I realized that I had stopped wishing for a bigger apartment.

I didn't notice it was happening. But as I look back, I can see three really pivotal steps that helped me stop looking at other spaces with comparison and wishing for more.

and today I want to share them with you…
