43: Stop the comparison game when you know exactly what you want with Yanely Espinal Are you comparing your life with the ones you see on Instagram? Does that leave you feeling like you're not doing enough? Or that something is missing in your life? I do! Today we talked to Yanely about this comparison trap... and how to end! I don't want to keep feeling shitty about my situation, especially when we realize that we probably aren't all working towards the same goals. Instead of continuing to buy stuff we don't want to impress people we don't know or because we think we need it to be happy, let's ask ourselves: what is it that I really WANT from MY life? Once you identify what this is, what we see on Instagram or what people say to us about what we don't have won't phase us. We know what we want and what we're doing to get there.
