Because your progress is worth celebrating
Hello there, beautiful soul,
Have you ever caught yourself scrolling through social media, feeling that familiar sting of comparison? Maybe it was someone else's transformation post or a fitness milestone that made you pause and silently ask, “Why not me?”
If you’ve been there, you’re not alone—and you’re not broken. You’re human.
The Heavy Emotion We Don’t Talk About Enough
Jealousy has a way of creeping in quietly—but it hits hard.
It can make you:
- Question your progress
- Doubt your worth
- Feel guilt just for feeling it
But here’s the truth: you can’t shame yourself into confidence.
You can, however, gently explore what those feelings are trying to teach you.
Step One: Acknowledge Without Judgement
Next time jealousy rises up, ask yourself:
“Is this feeling showing me a desire I haven’t met yet?”
Recognising jealousy is not weakness—it’s a signpost. One pointing you toward healing, growth, and clarity.
Self-Acceptance Is the Real Goal
Not perfection—just presence
Self-acceptance means allowing yourself to be exactly where you are.
Not when you hit a certain weight.
Not when you feel 100% confident.
Right now. As you are.
The magic happens when you stop waiting to be “enough” and start treating yourself like you already are. Because you are.
5 Practical Ways to Move Through Jealousy With Compassion
1. Practice Empowering Affirmations
Speak kindly to yourself.
Say out loud:
“I am enough.”
“I celebrate my journey.”
“My progress is real—even if it’s quiet.”
💬 Tip: Stick one on your mirror while you wear your Everyday Empower High Waisted 7/8 Leggings and remind yourself of your strength.
2. Curate Your Digital World
If your feed leaves you drained, it’s time for a cleanse.
Unfollow accounts that trigger comparison. Follow those that uplift, reflect realness, and celebrate body diversity.
3. Journal What You’re Grateful For
Gratitude shifts your focus from lack to abundance.
Write down:
- Wins you’re proud of
- Things your body lets you do
- Small joys in your week
📓 Pair your journaling ritual with a warm tea and your Everyday Essentials Black Hood Jacket for cozy calm.
4. Move With Intention
Don’t just exercise to “improve”—move to reconnect.
Try:
- A solo walk to your favourite playlist
- Dancing in your lounge
- A yoga flow in your Empower Empower Sports Crop Bra
Let movement feel like medicine, not punishment.
5. Celebrate Others AND Yourself
When jealousy creeps in, try this flip:
“If she can do it, so can I.”
Celebrate her win, then reflect on one of yours.
Comparison loses power when replaced with connection.
💬 Real talk: Her success doesn’t shrink your potential—it expands it.

Final Thoughts: You're Already Enough
Yes, you’ll feel jealous sometimes.
Yes, you’ll compare.
And that’s okay.
But remember this: those feelings don’t define you.
They’re invitations—to return to yourself. To root deeper in your worth. To move forward with grace.
You don’t need to look like anyone else.
You don’t need to rush.
You are right on time in your journey.
With so much love,
