Comparing Down
Teach yourself to compare down, not up. It makes complete sense that you’ll be disappointed if you’re constantly comparing your wardrobe to that of your boss (who earns twice as much as you do) or your colleague (whose spouse created the latest reality-TV smash). Instead, if you need to compare at all — and most of us do — try to do it in a way in which you come out feeling good.
