Is habitual comparison affecting my mental health

19 April 2022 by Louise

With filters getting easier to use and more numerous by the day, it seems easier than ever to filter images which you post online. A blemish here…deleted…”I need a different eye colour”…changed…a curve there…reduced or enhanced…and “I want whiter teeth, but without the cost”…your wish is my command. You get the picture.

It’s time-consuming, but is it dangerous? Well…yes, yet it is. Because when you look in the mirror and see the real you staring back at you, you can be filled with disappointment that you don’t look like the filtered you.

The same goes for your significant other; comparing them to unrealistic beauty and personality standards, can cause much disatisfaction in your relationship, despite you previously being happy with them.

When you compare your home against carefully manipulated images of homes with bigger budgets than your own, you can feel less grattitude towards your own home, even if it had previously made you happy.

Likewise, your finances. When you compare your finances against the wealthiest celebrities, you can be left feeling that your own life is lesser, somehow.

Do I need help to change my outlook?

If you’re the kind of person who compares yourself to others, or impossible standards, please understand that change is possible, no matter who you are.

Hypnotherapy may help repair some of the ‘faulty programmes’ that are running in your subconscious mind and keeping you stuck in old, unhelpful patterns of thinking. If you’d like to ask us how we can help you move on with your life, just know that everything is possible for you, and that we’d love to help you.

Next steps

We offer hypnotherapy both online and face to face, as well as in your own home, if you’re a blue badge holder living within approx’ 10 miles of WF14 9ED.
