1. Guard your heart

There is an ancient scripture that says “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” If our actions stem from the condition of our hearts, take some time to reflect on what you allow into your heart to drive you. Do you find yourself feeling jealous? Bitter? Never satisfied and always wanting? Being critical and judgemental? Feeling a sense of superiority and entitlement? If so, we may need to adjust what and who we allow to influence us. We must be diligent with exercising boundaries to protect us from complying with all the different voices surrounding us. This may look like limiting social media usage or unfollowing accounts that trigger those feelings for us. It may also look like spending less time with certain people or being very cautious about who you are vulnerable with. Know the areas in your life where you can get trapped comparing and put things in place to safeguard them.
