COT: I’ve been dealing with some body image/self-esteem issues lately and have been preaching to myself that “comparison is the thief of joy.” Whether it’s body image, career, money, mothering, etc. comparing ourselves to others (or even to the past versions of ourselves!) robs us of the joy we can find in the blessings we do have and our worth that’s not found in outward things.
