Episode 7: Comparing Ourselves to Other Artists
Listen on Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts | iHeart Radio | Amazon Music
Artists often find themselves caught in the grip of what is commonly known as “comparison syndrome,” which bears striking similarities to the toxic mindset we discussed just last week – imposter syndrome.
In episode #7, Mama Judy suggests that the reason for these debilitating conditions might be our need for validation from others. When we start feeling jealous, resentful, or doubting ourselves when we look at other artists’ work, comparison syndrome may be to blame.
Today’s podcast reminds us to look inward for an appreciation of our artistic offerings. Even if we can find gratitude for one small detail we like about our own work, it can make a positive impact on how we engage with our craft. When we concentrate on our chosen way of expressing ourselves and appreciate it, the negative effects of comparing ourselves to others become less prominent.
