In this episode of 'Master Stress with Dr. S', the focus is on handling the stress of comparison, especially heightened at the end of the year. Dr. S delves into the neuroscience behind why we compare ourselves to others and how it triggers reward circuits in our brain. She discusses how the digital age has exacerbated this natural tendency, leading to feelings of inadequacy and low self-worth. Dr. S provides actionable strategies to shift from envy to inspiration, including bringing awareness to the triggers of comparison, practicing micro gratitude, and closing cognitive loops to foster intrinsic motivation. She also emphasizes the benefits of social media detoxes and finding new sources of inspiration to maintain mental well-being.00:00 Introduction to Master Stress with Dr. S01:58 The Impact of Comparison During the Festive Season04:58 Understanding the Neuroscience of Comparison05:54 The Role of Social Media in Comparison10:24 Exploring the Reticular Activating System (RAS)14:10 Case Study: Social Media Detox Experiment19:40 Three Tools to Rewire Comparison25:27 Final Thoughts and Practical TipsDownload The Comparison Cleanse to practise embodied gratitude.www.drsafiadebar.com/the-comparison-cleanseConnect with Dr Safia Debar Dr Safia DebarSpeaker / Coach | Medical Doctor | Breathwork Facilitator One of Tatler's "Top 21 private doctors in Britain" [email protected]: @drsafiadebarTiktok: drsafiadebarFind our free resources here: www.drsafiadebar.com/resource
