Wise words from Karamo Brown 👑. As much as it can feel like it, life is not a contest.

It’s not about how well you’re doing compared to others- the only person you should compare yourself to today is who you were yesterday!

We shouldn’t be asking ourselves why others appear to be more successful 💰 , healthier, skinnier, prettier, smarter, tougher 💪, or more well liked...

We should be asking ourselves is am I working as hard as I can to be the best person I can be today.

Everyone struggles with making comparisons of themselves to others - it’s part of the way the brain sorts information! But be compassionate to yourself and know you’re not alone. 💕

A self-concept is a combination of all the ideas you have about yourself, based on your personal experiences, body image, your thoughts, and how you tend to label yourself in various situations. It’s connected to self-esteem, but it’s a little different. 🌿

A self-concept can also be defined as awareness you have had of yourself in the past; the awareness you have of yourself in the present, and the expectations you have of yourself at a future time. 

Your self-concept is a collection of your perceptions and beliefs you have about your own nature, qualities, and behavior. It’s about how you think and evaluate yourself at any given moment in time. 

Self-concept is made up of your own thoughts- so it is not always true or accurate! What is your self-concept? How do you think about yourself? Are you always able to distinguish accurate perceptions about yourself from negative thoughts? ⬇️

It’s Monday again which means I’m doing the best I can to focus on getting back into the work week! ☀️

This weekend I was able to get out into nature with loved ones and our pets! The weather was perfect and I even had a chance to stand professionally next to this tree! 😂

Anyone else not ready for summer to end??
