Comment and let me know who you're ready to stop comparing yourself to! I'm ready to stop comparing myself to who I "could" have been if I'd never had chronic illness. 🥰
Comparing myself to who I could've been if I didn't have all my problems. Or daydreaming of who I would be if only I could finally fix them. Yeah, that one hurts.
@@Taudris Wow, I was so sure I wasn't comparing myself to anyone, but you just cut through all that BS! Yes, exactly that. I have so much pain and grief caught up in comparing myself to what I could've been or what I could've done if not for my challenges. But on the other hand, I wouldn't be who I am today without those same challenges. And I am really proud of who I've become and what I have accomplished. Maybe that can be enough to stop comparing myself to the idealized version of myself?
To my cousins, who are my age and incredibly healthy and active. I tried to keep up with them, and then I end up thinking badly of myself because I just can't do it.
Seeing this made me feel so much better. I always make the mistake of comparing myself to totally healthy people. You're absolutely right -- 24 hours are not the same for everybody. Thank you for the motivation and for understanding.
I have a difficult time not comparing my worth to my productivity. I needed to hear this. I will be watching more of your hack/tip vids. At 45, I'm a chronic pain / illness manager (I hate to refer to it as surviving). It began at 20, fully manifested by 23, but I didn't have to seek SSDI until 41. Once I sunk into that mindset of being less than independent, my self worth tanked. Not only did I live in pain, or unknowing when a flare would come if I did too much, I began waging my worth on my produced output... Which was becoming less and less. I really appreciated hearing this viewpoint. Needed it. Thank you. 💜
You always hit exactly what I'm going through 😭😭 there was a popular tiktok cosplayer I compare myself to incessantly. Not only is she a workaholic but Idt she goes through the same physical pains I do. I have a tendency to downplay my headaches because I don't have any kind of diagnosis, but they can be debilitating! Once again thank you for your vids 💓💓
It can be so hard to not compare ourselves to others, especially those who may seem like us. Just because that creator experiences similar symptoms as you, doesn't mean that they impact them the same. Please be kind to yourself. You alone understand your capacity. 🤗💖
I'm crying listening to the first sentence. I always in my dark place and never get out so hearing this kind of thing feels humane to me. Laying in bed 24/7 can't make me do something right and I hope one day there's something I can be proud of looking back. Thank you for the video. I don't know if you read this but I appreciate your effort and knowledge through this video.
I used to compare myself to the younger me. I could do so much more and was in a lot less pain. Plus at that time I didn't have an anxiety disorder. I'm so glad I did things then that I cannot or will not do now. I really needed to hear about productivity and value today. Thank you.
I just came across your channel and have been watching it when I can. Thank you so much for your channel. So many things hit right at home for me and it truly makes me feel like I'm not alone. Thank you!!!
Just wanted to let you know how much these videos help me, maybe that will give you some more meaning for making them. I usually come here when I'm having a low day and learn how to prepare for the future. So thanks again!
This is AWESOME! I love the idea of having a doable/capacity scale!! I spend so much of my usable time trying to remember what is even important to do and deciding if I have the energy for it. It's genius to plan all that out in advance, so all I have to do is consult my list and then get started. Thank you, Cassie!
Hey Cassie, this video was really interesting for us, you really widened our perspective. We just started our RUclips channel with the goal of making self improvement fun and we are doing a bunch of research in the personal growth landscape to see what others are talking about and struggling with! We love that you are niching down and helping people with chronic pain through your experience, I'm sure it's going to help a lot of people!! If it ever makes sense and our content resonates with you, we would love to collaborate one day ☺️💛
Oh my goodness, thank you so much for the encouraging feedback! Your channel looks really interesting and fun. I'd be open to discussing a future collab. Feel free to DM me on Facebook or email me using the contact form on my page.

@@Taudris Are you ready to stop comparing yourself to that imagined version of yourself? Because you deserve that peace. 🥰

Comparing myself to all the other school mums

I understand!! I'm battling that myself now

I understand! I keep comparing myself to who I was 2 years ago, and all that does is leave me feeling bad.
