Notice when comparison starts
Pause and name the trigger
Focus on your own goals
Limit social media exposure
Unfollow accounts that make you feel worse
Replace comparison with gratitude
Track your own progress
Celebrate small wins
Set realistic personal standards
Remind yourself that others show highlights, not full reality
Avoid measuring your worth by achievements
Practice self-compassion
Use comparison as information, not judgment
Spend time on activities that build confidence
Stay around supportive people
Keep a list of your strengths
Redirect attention to what you can control
Challenge negative self-talk
Be patient with your progress
Seek help if comparison feels overwhelming
