How to stop feeling behind in life ?
social media is a space filled with lots of things, one of them is people from every walks of life we met,get connected through this, but how many of us have felt that we are missing out on something or we are far behind in life after watching them vacation or enjoy a party or having fun while we just have a normal 9-5 job with nothing extraordinary ?
we feel this often, but how can we escape this ?
We often feel left behind because of the difference between how we thought life would be like at a certain point and how it actually is, we haven't achieved something we wanted to, we are not in a relationship, we don't have kids… but would you rather be in a relationship that is toxic and just tick the box or not be in one at all ?? What would you prefer ?
It's okay to not have everything figured out, just because we live in a society with timelines, we need not choose success over satisfaction or appearance over authenticity… As a kid, i remember being good at studies , acting, singing etc but I never made it in sports…especially in high school i was the dumbest in sports, i did feel behind in sports but that didn't stop me from getting good scores in school, in the same way, our life has different areas which are crucial to us, and we don't have to be perfect in every aspect, but the problem here is we compare our worst parts to the best parts of others lives, and we end up under valuing ourselves!
Just because some place on earth gets the sunlight first, doesn't mean all the other areas wont get it!! Right? When you see the people around you getting married, having kids or excelling professionally it is a reason to celebrate their achievements and not to look down upon your own…when we face situations like this, we immediately question our own worth…ending up feeling left behind..but what if there's a better way to live life and not like you are in a race with your friends ?
Here are the things you need to try when you get this feeling of left behind
Stop snooping into other people’s lives on social media- now a days, all we are interested in is what others are doing with their life, we keep watching people holidaying, enjoying, partying and doing fun things while we are stuck in a basic job not accounting to much….according to social media. But the things which you see on people's feeds are only the highlights of their life and not their entire life….people don't share anything that's imperfect- so it's time to stop comparing your life to the highlights of someone else's life.
Live in the present moment- most of our life revolves around our past or our future worrying about the future or regretting about the past… but we never completely enjoy the present moment, and we are what we are because of our experiences we had, the people we met and the detours we took, everything ha shaped us into what we are today, so instead of defining yourself based on your achievements , you dont need to give an explanation to people why you are where you are in your life… the only thing to consider is are you happy with where you are, if not what can you do about it?
Be thankful for everything - the first thing you do every morning should be to write down 3 things you are thankful for everyday even if its something a s small as your comfortable bed, these small things will remind you of what you hve, and some of which may be something someone is desiring right now and also which you have desired at some point in your past and now you have it! Appreciate those things and this will help you change your perspective of your life.
Realise how far you have come- although at times, life looks still, looks like you are not making any progress, when you look back in time, you will realise that you have changed a lot or you have become a better person over the years , give yourself some credit for enduring the things you have and the person that you have become and take pride in yourself!
You are where you are meant to be- even though we have a lot of plans , life and God have certain plans for us, and we are where we are meant to be… trust your life's timing, trust God’s timing… and you'll see your life unfold in front of you in an amazing way..you are preparing for the next part of your life if you can't see any progress… like a mango tree preparing the whole year to give its sweet fruits in the summer ! wait till your season comes, until then it's just your preparation time!
