Dr. Tabatha Barber explains why comparing yourself to others, especially on social media, holds you back. She urges you to run your own race and tells the difference between sharing a story and comparing your situation to someone else's.
Comparison kills. That is the quickest way, especially for women. If you want to spiral down and be miserable, start comparing yourself to everybody. That is why social media can be so toxic and dangerous, because you start comparing yourself. How quickly you go shopping on a busy day and there's 100 people in the dressing line, you start comparing yourself. Should I even be trying that on? What am I doing buying this? Blah, blah, blah. And you spiral down. You have to run your own race. God gives us our own races. We got to put our little horse blinders on the side so we're not comparing. It's hard because I encourage women to share their stories with each other and learn from each other, but there's a difference between that and comparing yourself in your situation to another woman.
