Comparison is one of the fastest ways to lose your peace.
You scroll for a few minutes and suddenly your life feels smaller.
Someone’s ahead, someone’s happier, someone’s doing more.

But what you’re comparing isn’t real. It’s a filtered moment, not the full story.

Dating in today’s world can feel overwhelming. One text makes you smile, the next silence keeps you up at night. Overthinking every message, timing your replies, replaying conversations in your head... it’s exhausting.

I’ve been there. I’ve felt the anxiety that comes from mixed signals, being left on read, and watching someone post on social media instead of replying back. It drained my energy, affected my sleep, and even made me pull away from the people who actually loved me most.

Have you ever felt like no matter what you do, you’re just not healing fast enough? You read the books, watch the videos, and try all the practices, but somehow you still feel stuck.

The truth is, most of us are unknowingly caught in one habit that actually slows healing down: over-fixing. Constantly checking if we’re “better yet,” comparing ourselves to others, and treating healing like a to-do list.

I fell for my best friend. She was someone who always made me feel valued, someone I prioritized above myself. When I finally told her how I felt, I also knew I couldn’t stay. Deep down, I realized I wasn’t the man for her, and protecting my heart meant walking away.

If you’ve ever loved someone who didn’t love you back, or had to walk away from a friendship you cared about deeply, I want you to know this: it gets better. Slowly, piece by piece, you do heal. Don’t let the sadness turn into bitterness. Wish them well, focus on yourself, and keep moving forward.

You are not alone in this.

Most of the thoughts in your head aren’t even yours. They come from family, friends, society, and old habits you didn’t choose. The problem is, when you start believing every thought as truth, they begin to control how you feel and who you think you are.

Sometimes the harder we try to control life, the heavier it feels. Letting go doesn’t mean giving up—it means creating space for something new to arrive. In this episode, I’ll share why holding on keeps us stuck, how letting go opens the door to change, and a simple practice you can try today.

The Mental Reset is here to help you ease overthinking, release control, and find peace in the everyday.
