“COMPARISON IS THE THIEF OF JOY” -THEODORE ROOSEVELT
You are dang right there, Theodore!
Unfortunately, it can be hard not to compare, especially with social media showing us the highlight reel. Ugh!
The trick to staying focused on your goals and dreams is staying in your lane. Keep your eyes forward focusing on what you are doing. Becoming distracted by what others are up to is a waste of time and energy for you… and it can lead you down a path of self-doubt, feelings of inadequacy, and low confidence.
I know it’s so easy to read this, but it is much harder in real life to not compare yourself to others. Staying focused on what you are doing and the progress you are making (celebrate the shit out of that!) will keep you true to what your heart dreams.
You’ve got this!
ONLINE RUNNING COACHING
Is one of your goals this year to tackle a new running distance, or heck, even begin running? It can be hard going alone, I’ve been there with the uncertainty and having no clue if what I was reading online was correct or absolute BS. If you’d like to spend an hour chatting with me about coaching and whether working together to help you achieve your running goal might be right for you, then click on the link below to book yourself a completely free consultation call. I promise it’s not sales-y and you are not locked into anything, it’s 100% just a conversation around your running goals and what I could do to support you.
Alternatively, I have 4 on-demand training packs available: Couch to 5K, Running 10K, Running Your First Half-Marathon, and Running Your First Marathon.
