Bring yourself back to humility.
Think back on times when you have been judged by other women. How did that make you feel? If you could go back in time, what would you want to tell the people who were judging you?
Use that insight and apply it to the situation at hand, reminding yourself of what it feels like to be unfairly critiqued and used as a tool, comparison or benchmark to someone else's worth. Now ask yourself again if the criticism that you're making of others is really helpful.
Journalling is a great tool here for expressing your thoughts and digging deep into your past experiences in a cathartic and empowering way.
Some final reminders:
• One woman’s beauty, brilliance or sheer awesomeness doesn’t take anything away from your own.
• Complimenting another woman (whether it’s in your head as you walk by, or out loud to them) helps you feel good about yourself, too. Imagine how much womankind could achieve if we were all aglow from positivity, both within and without?
• Hating other women won’t make you feel better about yourself, no matter how well you disguise that hatred as concern or good intentions.
• You deserve to be able to acknowledge and appreciate other women, as well as yourself!
The next time you walk past a beautiful woman, ask yourself:
"How can I celebrate her? And how does celebrating her help me celebrate myself?"
You've got this.
