The Robyn Graham Show - Success without Social - Life and Business Growth Strategies for Christian Women, Coaches, and Service Providers

Personal values, dropping comparisons, and building confidence.

Aligning with our values is not just about finding personal joy but also about creating a meaningful and fulfilling life and business.

The Happy Mom Mindset

This book provides valuable guidance for moms and anyone looking to build confidence and ward off the perils of comparison. "Comparing yourself to others or to an impossible standard is never useful. We usually compare ourselves and try to do it all because we fear that we don't measure up but end up falling short of an impossible standard."

The Power of Values in Life and Business

It is so important to understand your values and align your life and business with those personal values. Recognizing our values is crucial for personal fulfillment and success. Values are not about what's universally good or bad but about what uniquely lights each person up. Dropping the judgment in what you think you should value more or less is the first step in embracing personal values.

Checking in on your values

1. Make a List: Write an extensive list of things that matter to you in different areas of your life—personal, professional, financial, health, relationships, and spiritual.
2. Prioritize: Narrow down this list to the top five values that resonate most with you. These are the values that align deeply with your core.
3. Reflect: Regularly check in with yourself to ensure your daily actions and decisions align with these core values.

Battling Comparison with Confidence

Comparison is a natural human tendency but a destructive tendency that often leads to feelings of inadequacy or failure. We can step away from this comparison trap when we know and honor our values. Understanding what truly matters to us allows us to operate from a place of inner confidence. When we are grounded in our values, we are less likely to judge our accomplishments against someone else's achievements. This shift in mindset reduces the "compare and despair" syndrome and opens up space to appreciate others for who they are without feeling threatened or diminished.
