Everyday Habits that Drain our Energy 2/10:

2 of 10 Comparing ourselves to others

Its really hard not to do, right?

It is human nature.

We do it when we don’t feel like we have value.

During covid times, the shut down made me stop wanting to keep up with everyone in Boulder.

So I don’t have the newest greatest pair of boots. So what.

When I stop and reflect what is really important to me, it is always my relationships with people, being able to be in the natural world, and my animals.

And of course having shelter, clean food and water. That is kind of crucial.

And of course, having my health.

But the things that aren’t crucial is having 50 pairs of black shoes.

Everyday Habits that Drain our Energy 1/10

1 of 10 Complaining all the time.

Complaining can be a habit.

We can get in the habit on focusing on the negative of things.

In relation to the skin, we can get in the negative habit of focusing on the things we do not like about our skin.

Instead of focusing on the things we do like about out skin. Or instead of focusing on beauty in general.

A few things I do to pull myself out of the negativity loop is:

• Enjoy a good cup of coffee.

• Go for a walk.

• I remind myself that there is beauty in the world.

• Listen to good music that makes you feel something.

• I have, lately, been treating myself to fresh flowers once per week.
