73 - Quit it!

OK. I read a report that approximately 80% of women size each other up physically when meeting and if they feel challenged what follows is a negative comment either out loud or internally. And it got me thinking ... a lot. Do be warned this is a bit of a rant. I have a request of you my friend. Can we all please draw a line in the sand and today commit to no more judgement, comparison and gossip? This is such an energy waster. It is an assault on others and on ourselves. It is buying into the hamster wheel of never enough. We have all heard it, we have all said it and we all at times think it as we look at other peoples lives on social. It's not our fault. We have been taught that our success is dependant of their failure, that our win depends on their loss, that our beauty depends on being thinner than them or having a nicer wardrobe. We have been put on a hamster wheel and taught to play to the mould that ensures we stay small. That we need to compete for attention. That we need to be thinner, stronger, smarter, wealthier, younger than our sister sitting next to us. The problem is there is no end to this way of living. We can never be enough if we assess ourselves in comparison to others. Comparison, jealousy, thinking, it's a race to be the best at this thing we call life and is a never ending hamster wheel to nowhere. Can we stop it please? Commit to being intentional in how we receive, comment and engage with each other. Commit to calling each other out when we slip back to old habits of judgement and comparison and remind each other we don't do that shit anymore. Can we commit to push back when others expect us to dive down to this level. Can we commit to be strong. To support. To show up for and to celebrate each other. Even if we would choose not to dress, work, eat, parent, love or live like they do? To celebrate their freedom to do whatever the hell they want and to protect our ability to do the same. No more tearing each other's wings off and in doing so tearing off our own. Ok rant over. If you are ready to put all your podcast listening into action you have to check out my coaching program.
