A comparison mindset is when you are caught up comparing yourself, your situation, or your environment to other people’s. It’s about evaluating your people’s situations in the context of yourself.
It’s a natural human behaviour that has definite value to helping us progress, but of course, it can be made more extreme due to how the world is today. Especially in social media and the context feedback loop.

When you’re thinking about what you to might want to achieve or change, it’s important to look at if your habits are serving you. If you don’t address your habits, it’s so easy to drift into autopilot and end up not contributing to your goals.
