Social media can make you feel like whatever you have just isn't enough. If you only go on Facebook to see who is getting engaged, who just got an awesome new job, or who just went on a vacation of a lifetime, then it's time to disconnect. But if you drop comparing completely, you'll only be doing yourself a favour. There are always reasons to be jealous of others, and reasons for others to be jealous of you. Remember that, even if you're really jealous of your friend's relationship, she might be really jealous of your awesome career. You will always be able to find someone who is happier, healthier, richer, prettier, and just more together than you are. You can't change what other people are doing, and you'll never get anywhere if you compare yourself to others instead of thinking about your life on its own terms. Stop thinking about how big your neighbor's house is, how great your friend Jack's job is, or how perfect your best friend's relationship is when yours is riddled with problems. This is another way that people can easy keep themselves from feeling truly happy with their lives. This will make you feel more grateful for the beauty all around you.
