6 empowering tips to help you stop comparing yourself to other moms

Another day. Another comparison trap.

I know you do it. I did it. We all have done it throughout our motherhood journey.

Comparing yourself to other moms.

I will show you how to stop comparing yourself to other moms, so that you can actually love your life more.

There you are sitting in the restaurant table with your kids and husband. Your children are screaming and crying because you won’t let them use their tablets or your phone.

You look around in embarrassment and see another mom handling her kids like a boss. I talking about, her kids eating their food with no technology and no screaming.

So you start to compare yourself to her and then feel like shit about it. “How in the world does she do it?” “what am I doing wrong?” “Her kids are better than mine”.

Can you relate? I know I can. I used to always compare myself to others and then feel like my life is not good enough, I’m not a good enough mom or wife and I was jealous.

But you know what changed?

Focusing on my life instead of paying attention to other moms lives.

Why do I compare yourself to other moms?

We compare ourselves to others because we want to know if we’re doing it right, or to seek validation that other moms are going through the same things as us. We compare ourselves to other moms because we want to see if we measure up to other moms or see where we’re at versus them.

Why comparing yourself is toxic?

Motherhood comparison is toxic because you are tying in your self worth and how you see yourself based on other moms. You may start to lose self esteem and confidence if you are “behind” or “not doing it right”. This may cause you to feel less than and start seeing your life as never good enough. It becomes a competition with other moms. Not healthy at all.

Negative effects on motherhood comparison:

• feeling not good enough
• jelousy
• becomes a competition to up other moms
• increase anxiety
• frustration
• feel like others are better than you or have it “easy”. etc.
• overlook the good things that you have in your life.
