It’s easy to get caught up in comparisons and to see yourself as falling short when you look to other people. In order to avoid this behavior, here are three ways to remain inspired to your own achievements and progress.

1. Don’t follow other people’s progress on Facebook or other social media platforms. We all want to look good and it’s misleading to assume that everything that people put on these platforms is true. If you’re having trouble with comparisons – it’s best to stay away from these locations.
2. Chart your own progress. Following another person’s weight loss or weigh lifting goals doesn’t help you. Following your own does. Keep track of your progress so that you can be inspired by how you’re doing and how you’re improving each week.
3. Set realistic goals for yourself. If you are too hard on yourself or you overreach your goals by too much, you probably won’t achieve them. If you are realistic, you’ll be able to see real progress.
