Binge on Self-Love

“No one is you, and that’s your superpower.” Every single day, we compare ourselves to other people. We compare everything – our appearance, lives, education, career, success, popularity, wealth, with people we know, as well as people we never met before. According to recent studies, comparison on social media can contribute to lower self-esteem, envy, loneliness, and feeling anxious and depressed...

One thing that people do is that we tend to wait for the right moment. We postpone our plans when the timing is better.

Procrastination, to a certain extent, is completely normal. Everyone procrastinates sometimes, including the most productive people. Procrastination is even more common during specific periods in lives and during certain situations – for instance, when we're supposed to study, when we're supposed to do some prep for work, but also when it comes to our personal goals, such as recovery.

Why do we have such tendencies to be perfect, and to be completely honest, who doesn't want to be perfect?
