The Ashley O Show: Nursing Beyond the Bedside

285. Stop comparing yourself to who you used to be: How to be a beginner again

Episode 285

There’s a pretty popular quote out there that says - “the only person you should be comparing yourself to is who you were before." Today I'm offering a heartfelt rebuttal to this quote. Too many of us spend our energy thinking about who we used to be, what we used to do, how we exercised in the past, or what we used to weigh...and it's holding us back MORE than anything else.

I want to talk about the real strength and growth that only comes when we can be humble enough to be a beginner again and again. It's HARD to start again knowing where you have been in the past, but we cannot let that hold us back. It's time to shed the weight of our former selves in order to step in a new chapter.
