Hey Woman!
I must applaud you for the wonderful works of your hands, look at you, so productive yet multitasking.
who would sweep pass your feet and claim you are not good enough?
You are worthy of all these accolades no doubt, someone just have to speak it out.
but Hey! do you feel envy or jealousy when you see other women rising? when other women are achieving their goals how do you feel? do you fume with envy when your unmet aspirations are all round about but others getting the bag?
Here are the reasons why you feel that way and trust me, it has to stop.
1.Social Comparison: You compare yourself with other woman as a way of appraising your own success and progress. This unhealthy attitude has to stop as you are meant to have your own goals set for the specific period while you mirror that instead of giving room for social comparison. The only thing that should highlight your shortcomings and unmet aspiration should be your own self review. the competition should be within you and with you and not other woman.
2.Cultural Pressures: Societal expectations play significant roles in the aspect of career advancement, physical appearance or social status. seeing others excel in these areas and you not breeds unnecessary pressure and feelings of inadequacy. truth must be told as we are all humans but we should not give room for these feelings but rise above it and remain focus on our goals.
3.Personal Insecurities : The spirit of second guessing one's worth or capability should not be encouraged at all, the moment low self esteem or any other feelings that might want to amplify insecurities start to rear its head, break out from the evil mindset. it's demeaning.
4. Media Influence: Yeah, everyone goes to the internet to show off their success, People boast on linkedin about the achieved success and certifications, they show of their killer body on tinder, snapchat and instagram and they boast all about on youtube, Bigo and tiktok about they expensive lifestyle. This should not be your headache Woman. The internet is filled with 90% fake lifestyle so do not let their unrealistic lifestyle bother you.
Be aware that all the above listed and explained feelings are surmountable, Build your self awareness, be collaborative and not competitive, celebrate success and not envy them.
Turn the envy into motivation and inspiration.
