This is a wonderful thought. I love the idea of not putting yourself in a spot where other people's accomplishments will make you think badly of the rate at which you are accomplishing what you want to do.
I met with a client yesterday who was verbally beating herself up over something she didn't do. My advice to her was to decide to do things differently (this is related to the organization in her home). She was berating herself for being messy. I worked with her to create the amount of organization with which she is comfortable and then told her it's within her control to change her habits to maintain the organization.
She doesn't need (and shouldn't) compare herself to pictures in magazines or other people's homes.
I realize this doesn't completely relate to what you're saying - but I wanted to share. Thanks for listening.
"Seeing other people do something you want to do but aren't doing because [insert reasons here] is a quickie shortcut to feeling bad about yourself. (Or maybe that's just me?)" Nope - that's me, too. 🙂
