Falling Into The Comparison Trap

Image
Hi, guys! Today, I want to chat about something that I feel is super important – falling into that ugly little rabbit hole, the comparison trap . Now, I’m not opposed to some healthy motivation – and watching someone else kick-ass can inspire you to do the same. It actually inspires me ALL the time! The problem comes when we begin living for “keeping up with the Joneses” and forget all of the awesome (and imperfect) things that make our lives as wonderful as they are. I love that social media gives me the opportunity to connect with all of you in real-time. It also allows us to share ideas and support – I’ve made some truly amazing friends through the Internet, and there is not one day that goes by where I don’t learn something new from my Instagram feed.

And it was super rewarding. Especially when it came to breakfast. I don’t like starting my day with a sugary processed breakfast. It puts me into a food coma. I need something full of nutrients to keep me focused and ready for the day. And that’s why I loved these easy “On-The-Go Protein Oatmeal Packs.” Watch This Video To Learn How I Made My Favorite “Travel Breakfast Food” Now that I’ve created my very own protein powder that is the cleanest on the market, I always use it to make these packs.
