Comparing is a dangerous game. Did you know we have a choice if we want to play. However, most of us get in the habit of comparing and we do it unconsciously.
In this podcast we are talking about comparison and bringing ourselves to awareness that we probably do it without thinking. When we become aware of our habit in comparing, then we are able to make a conscious choice if we want to engage.
I have heard many times in the past to choose not to engage in comparing. BUT you can choose to compare. As long as you compare fairly. When you compare fairly it takes a lot of the danger out of the game.
How do you do that – comparing fairly? Listen in below for the tools that I give for going through this process.

On podcast #14 (which I thought I was on 13 so forgive me on that when you listen) I chat about medicine and supplementation for PMDD and Exercise. Did you know that all humans are deficient in quite a few nutrients? It makes sense with all the unnatural food we have on the market, rising levels of obesity and mental disorders, and chemicals on our ingredient lists that we cannot even pronounce. But we also don’t go outside as much as our ancestors and we sit for more than 80% of our days now too.
May is Mental Health Awareness month so today I am getting vulnerable with you as we talk about PMDD – Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder – a mental illness I was diagnosed with after 20 years of not knowing what was “wrong” with me. PMDD is a hormone-based mental illness that is an uncommon reaction to normal fluctuating hormones. It is not an imbalance of hormones nor is dictated by hormones, but a miscommunication within the brain, specifically the prefrontal cortex, that follows the luteal phase of a menstrual cycle – from ovulation until the period starts. Still such a new disorder with research coming out weekly! Only 2-8% of women experience PMDD and out of that percent only 3% of those have heavy and painful periods. I am that 3%.
Heading into part 3 of our series on the Six Dimensions of Wellness, we talk about occupational, intellectual, and social wellness. The discussion leads to how it will look if you are on the bottom end of our spectrum and then what it looks like as we head up the spectrum to optimal wellness for each of these areas.

This is episode #2 in Clarissa Explains it All. And in this episode we are talking about the Three Minds we Own – Rational, Emotional, and Wise.
