COMPARING Yourself To Others | See What Happens When You Start Doing THIS Instead

[@poppypopper7123]

I came for the Tretinoin advice, I stayed for the life advice :3 Thanks

[@JenniferMyers]

That makes me smile so wide ;-)

beauty with brain and everything that comes our of her mouth is a gold.

[@JenniferMyers]

Oh, my, thank you

[@dokidoki719]

I found myself recently obsessing over the lives of people I sort of knew in university and then abusing myself for not being successful enough. I am doing my dream job, my family loves me, I am financially secure for the first time in my life and yet I am jealous of others. It felt so toxic...so toxic that I really wanted to throw up. This video was really important for me. Because I have realised as long as I don’t work on healing my soul no material comforts is going to be enough to make me happy.

[@JenniferMyers]

Wow. I have done similar. Wondering about people I'd gone to school with and comparing myself to them...and picking out the differences between our lives and almost feeling this need to punish myself for not somehow "measuring up." It's so interesting to think that some of my former classmates surely were doing the very same, but with me. That is how humans are. We do this. And it is toxic; you're absolutely right. Healing inside, going within and getting to intimately know who YOU ARE and what your purpose is, THAT is the key to being grounded, sane, and -- a bonus -- happy.

[@abc_cba]

You're such a role model not just for women to us men as well. God bless you. Your message was so heart touching. I wish everyone stays happen within.

[@JenniferMyers]

Thank you, xxx xxx. I really appreciate that; nice to get a male's perspective as I'm certain the majority of my viewership is comprised of females (which is not to say that anything is wrong about that, obviously, but it's refreshing is all I meant).

[@abc_cba]

@@JenniferMyers Thank you for responding. Jennifer, can you do a video on all your natural items that you use as beauty treatments ? For example, rice water or steam baths or Ice cold face washes etc

[@JenniferMyers]

@@abc_cba I do none of these things! I'm a very simple woman lol

[@bri3449]

There’s a lot of scars that comes from going through an immense amount of trauma, which leads to an unconventional life, and that leads to feeling even more alienated on top of the trauma you’ve already faced :/ I always find myself comparing to those who live a more conventional life/with more conventional situations and it really does tear me apart. I want to feel more confident and secure in myself but when I find that I can’t relate to others it makes me feel even more isolated. I also realize that I shouldn’t seek external validation from anything or anyone else. Naturally we all do that to a certain extent.

[@JenniferMyers]

Absolutely. We all do it as it's human nature to compare and also look to others for validation. If it weren't the case, none of us would bother combing our hair or getting dressed in non-pajama clothes to leave the house, for example. So these things do matter. But in the grand scheme of things, it's obviously a deeper issue than whatever we see on the surface. That feeling of not following the herd and wondering "what's wrong with me?" is so common. I think we all feel these things.

[@lotusflower7597]

For me , being authentic, means being clear on what I like and don't like and make it known without shame and with respect !

[@JenniferMyers]

Unapologetically being oneself is truly the greatest gift of life.

[@rinoaheartilly4769]

Perfect timing, I was struggling with comparing myself to another yesterday and I was trying to remind myself I can only be ME so might as well be the best version of ME possible, thank you for the video!

[@JenniferMyers]

Rinoa, be your best self and be proud.

I aspire to be like u when I'm in my late thirties not just when it comes to retinoids and skin but everything lifestyle wellness mindfulness..

[@mrs.bartlett6047]

Jennifer’s videos are easy to watch and take in. She knows how to be her own person and not with all the extra stuff. The enjoy her calm personality and it helps with my anxiety as some videos can just be irritating to it tbh

[@SibutramineT]

If you treat a person with "sir" or similar, if they treat you back by using "you" then he disrespected you and you now have no respect for them. Someone who didnt respect you, deserves no respect.

[@Aris-Darling]

This is probably one of the best advice on how not to compare yourself to others.

[@aleksandraproszynska9138]

It is very dangerous. I catch myself doing this over and over... Because of that I’m loosing love and respect for myself. It’s so hard to act on this and stop... Very important video 👍

[@mias4696]

You speak from a place of being spiritually awakened. I admire you for being real and logical in a world where most people are not. I wish there were more people like you in this world. You are appreciated ☺️.

[@schmodizzle4465]

I've just stumbled across this video now. Honestly it almost made me cry , as you are extremely right about everything you have said. I will 're watch this until it sinks in and I can practice the technique you've offered. Thank you so much for sharing and thank you for being real

[@ceciliasawicki6647]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the public I appreciate it .

[@pennyjane9906]

What I find so fascinating about you Jen is your self love and how well you are able to listen to your body and your inner voice or feelings. I feel like I was ignoring myself all these years it makes me sad… So many problems that come with this.. relationshipwise, healthwise … i am now really working on this and it’s still so difficult for me.. Thank you for being an example for me.

[@lin-bh8lc]

Another thing i love about you is your talking. A lot people dont understand english so well, ( me too ) and you make it more understandable for us, slower and relaxing talking are the best. :) thanks

[@JosephineMarch7]

Dear Jennifer, how nice that your Mum reminds you that you are strong. And you are. I am truly grateful that you share your path and advice and remind us how we should treat ourselves. Your words speak to me into deep. I am now at my 39 learning to love and like myself despite all my flaws and mistakes I made. Your videos are very inspirational. Thank you.

Your words are so encouraging. Reminded me of the importance of loving myself again💓It is sad that some parts of social media make us to forget that.

[@AngelissimaASMR]

This was beautifully said. I love how you put the focus back on one's self vs what comparison does which is focus on others. I too have benefited immensely from JP's 12 Rules for Life and strongly agree that the best way we can help others is to focus on bettering ourselves as much as we can. I love your advice from your mother. I was wondering, are you an only child? If so, can you talk about your experience growing up as an only child? Thank you.

[@JenniferMyers]

I had the immense pleasure of attending Dr. Peterson's lecture series when he went on tour for his book, and it was a spectacular evening. I will forever be grateful to him for that book. I am not an only child, no. I have an older sister!

Nice thought provoking video.... Jennifer i have a quiry... Are sardines in olive oil healthy... I heard in someone else s video that always go for fish in water or brine... What are your thoughts......

[@JenniferMyers]

I personally only buy and consume those packed in spring water, and nothing else. This is simply because I don't know the quality of the oil being used, and often when packaging tinned fish in this way, the olive oil can also be subject to oxidation. I prefer adding my own extra virgin olive oil to my foods. I don't think anything is bad or wrong particularly with olive oil packaged sardines. But I myself purchase the spring water variety!

[@MariahhUlu]

did you shorten your eyelashes? they look short than usual.

[@JenniferMyers]

They're in their shedding cycle. Like any hair on the rest of the body, it grows in cycles.

[@tharaaqazzaz1979]

May i ask you A question Excuse my rudeness But why your lashes get shorter Because i am using castor oil right now

[@reena77774]

She doesn't curl her eyelashes , that's is the reason it might look shorter .

[@JenniferMyers]

Not rude at all! I have shorter lashes at the moment simply due to the natural growth cycle of eyelashes (as any other hair on the body). Lashes are constantly shedding and regrowing, and they each (individually) grow and shed at varying rates, so there are definitely times when my lashes are crazy long and dense, and there are other times when they lack length and thickness. I'm consistent with my castor oil usage, regardless. I enjoy the benefits for not only my lashes but also my undereye skin, too. I hope that helps to answer your question!
