Don’t Compare Yourself to Others: Shine Like the Sun and Moon in Your Own Time

Shaina Tranquilino

November 23, 2023

It's easy to fall into the trap of measuring our self-worth against others. Whether it's through achievements, appearance, or possessions, we often find ourselves comparing our lives to those around us. However, it's crucial to remember that each of us has a unique journey and purpose. Just like the sun and moon shine in their own time, we too can nurture our individuality and embrace our own path.

1. Embrace your uniqueness: Just as the sun is distinct from the moon, each person possesses qualities that make them special. Comparing yourself to others only diminishes your confidence and hampers personal growth. Instead, focus on recognizing your strengths, talents, and passions that set you apart from everyone else. Embrace your uniqueness wholeheartedly and understand that your individual journey brings its own value.

2. Set realistic goals: While it's natural to feel inspired by other people's achievements, constantly comparing yourself might lead to unrealistic expectations. Remember that success is subjective – what may work for someone else might not be suitable for you. Set your own goals based on your capabilities, interests, and aspirations. By doing so, you'll create a roadmap tailored specifically to your needs, ensuring fulfillment when achieving these milestones.

3. Celebrate small victories: The sun doesn't wait for applause before casting its brilliant light upon the earth every morning; similarly, don't underestimate the power of celebrating even minor accomplishments along your path. Acknowledge every step forward you take towards reaching your goals – no matter how insignificant they may seem at first glance. By appreciating these small victories, you reinforce positive thinking and foster motivation within yourself.

4. Surround yourself with positivity: Comparisons often arise when we surround ourselves with negative influences or toxic environments that breed dissatisfaction. Instead, seek out supportive and uplifting individuals who encourage personal growth. Surrounding yourself with positive energy will help you realize that success is not a limited resource – there is enough for everyone.

5. Cultivate self-compassion: Just as the moon shines brightly during its phase without comparing itself to the sun, it's essential to practice self-compassion. Understand that nobody's journey is perfect, and setbacks are a natural part of life. Be gentle with yourself when faced with challenges or failures and learn from them instead of dwelling on negative comparisons.

In a world where comparison seems inevitable, remember that each of us has our own unique path to walk. By embracing your individuality and focusing on your strengths, you can shine in your own time like the sun and moon. Celebrate small victories along your journey and surround yourself with positivity to foster personal growth. Ultimately, by avoiding comparisons, you'll find fulfillment in being authentically yourself rather than trying to fit into someone else's mould. So let go of comparisons, embrace your uniqueness, and bask in the radiance of your personal journey!

There is no point in trying to "educate" your favourite celebrities and authors about Palestine. There is decades worth of information about the genocide commited against Palestinians and if someone is advocating for some "peace on both sides" bullshit it's not because they're uneducated. It's because vocally supporting Palestine is getting people fired from their jobs, blacklisted, destroying their careers. If someone comes out with a wishy-washy "my heart breaks for the violence on both sides 🥺" stance, they have cynically chosen to prioritise their career over human lives. At that point, there is no point trying to educate someone because you want them to be a good person. Your focus shouldn't be on your favourite celebrity's personal moral journey. It should be on supporting and freeing the people of Palestine.

I think abandoning diet culture and favouring the function of my body versus the ~aesthetic~ of my body has really opened my eyes and given me a new chance to be one with myself.

It is hard to get through this, but I honestly think it's worth the investment it takes to unlearn the idea that your body must serve others and must be out of the way, and must only take up so much space to be valued and for you to be loved.

How does one convince an Olm that it’s okay to come out and see the light?

Introduction to the Olm: The Mysterious Cave Dweller The Olm, also known as the “human fish,” is an enigmatic amphibian that resides in the dark, underwater caves of the Dinaric Alps in Europe. With its pale, almost translucent skin and ability to thrive in complete darkness, the Olm is a fascinating creature of the deep. Its eyes are underdeveloped, a testament to its life in perpetual…

Ask and You Shall Receive: A Journey to Financial Healing through Etsy Shaina Tranquilino February 13, 2024

In the vast expanse of the universe, there's a saying that goes, "Ask and you shall receive." For many, this phrase might seem like a hopeful expression rather than a tangible reality. However, for me, the power of asking and the subsequent manifestation of support became a life-changing experience.

The Journey:

It was a time of financial strain for me, as I had recently made a significant payment to clear off my student loans. The burden of that substantial transaction left a noticeable hole in my pocket, and I found myself yearning for a lifeline. In moments of vulnerability, I turned to the universe and asked for financial support.

Little did I know that the universe had its own plans for answering my plea. January 2024 became a turning point in my life as over 500 sales poured in, and the positive momentum continued even after I had to pinch myself in disbelief. The conduit for this unexpected surge of support? Etsy – a platform that not only facilitated financial recovery but also opened the doors to a new chapter in my professional journey.

The Etsy Blessing:

Etsy, the renowned online marketplace for handmade and unique items, became the unexpected hero in my story. It turned out to be the bridge that connected my request for financial support with a community of individuals seeking distant energy healing sessions.

Gratitude overflowed as orders flooded in, each one representing not just a transaction but a gesture of faith and support from those who resonated with my offerings. The Etsy platform not only provided a means for me to share my skills but also became a hub of connection, healing, and prosperity.

Reaching New Heights:

As the sales continued to climb, so did my ranking on Etsy. A surreal moment came when I realized I had achieved the status of being the #1 distant energy healer on the platform. It was not just a personal victory but a testament to the power of manifestation, community, and the unforeseen opportunities that can arise when one dares to ask.

Acknowledging Support:

I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who supported me during this transformative period. Each order, every word of encouragement, and the positive energy shared through distant energy healing sessions contributed to my journey of getting back on my feet.

The journey from financial strain to becoming the #1 distant energy healer on Etsy was a testament to the adage, "Ask and you shall receive." In my case, the universe responded through the platform of Etsy, connecting me with a supportive community that helped me not only overcome financial challenges but also achieve remarkable professional milestones.

This experience serves as a reminder that sometimes, in moments of vulnerability, reaching out and asking for help can lead to unexpected and incredible outcomes. The universe, it seems, is always ready to respond to those who dare to seek support and embrace the opportunities that come their way.

Not a question, but simply - your art is phenomenal and every single piece sparks joy. Keep it up! The style is wonderful, and so down to earth!

Aww, thank you so much! That’s a huge compliment.

It’s really incredible how much my style has grown since I started this blog; I guess that’s what happens when you have to draw something almost every day for a year and a half, and keep trying new things and learning new techniques while you’re at it. It’s a lot of fun to watch. I’m not there yet, but I feel like if I can master coloring and digital art, I’ll be on the level of the artists I used to envy and idolize when I was a kid, and that’s an incredible feeling.

It’s easy to get down on yourself for things not turning out the way they looked in your head, but I’m learning to celebrate the little victories and signs of progress as they come. And lovely people like you make that really easy! So, thank you again! :-D

my customary birthday blues post that is at this point tradition but: another year around the sun, another year of new experiences, another year of exploring and finding myself and learning to love and hate and laugh and be happy and be sad and be human and be angry and experience grief and fear and so so so much joy. each and every time my birthday comes around i’m always floored by how much i’ve lived and how little i ever expected to live — i still don’t quite know where i’m going on this great road of life and maybe i’ll never get to the destination i have in mind, but i’m kicking my seat up and enjoying the ride along the way and all the wonderful people i’ve met who have inspired and helped me and whom i have loved and been loved in return. it seems almost like a dream of who i used to be and how bleak and colorless everything used to be and how i used to be but everything is so much more vibrant, so much more alive, so so much that it hurts sometime — and here’s to another year and may it be the brightest yet, and here’s to all of you to who are making your way through. the dark never lasts, i’ll be waiting for you at dawn, come find me and we’ll drive together for a while. i love you, let’s have the time of our lives.

No weight.

I started a new supplement last night called nomorbidity. Very excited. I had a meeting with a new weight loss counselor and she said that I needed go absolutely celebrate the fact that I went from 285 to the 240s this year. I was beating myself up for this plateau, because I am so eager and happy to move on. But, that is a big weight loss for someone who was so stuck for so many years.

What did I change? Almost everything.

Trying to be active daily. Goal is 10k steps or equivalent in elliptical miles.

No drinking alcohol.

Meditations and hypnosis at night.

Meal preps. Kept tweaking these. Failed some. Work in progress.

More veggies, always. Definitely trying to stop the produce I buy from going bad (my gf's too). Sometimes a dinner date is based on whatever will be going bad and is likely to be tossed.

Tea. Coffee. To go cups. Always BYO drinks.

Skinny chews.

Glucomannon tabs.

Fiber fiber fiber.

Supplements. Started with Slim and Burn. Slim 2.0 does not seem as effective but I still have 2x bottles of it.

Started taking Thesis, which is a supplement and my God it changed my life. Made me realize I might be undiagnosed ADD/ADHD and that it is affecting me more than I ever thought possible. I am shook.

Standing desk.

Workouts at work.

Kayaking, that is a pretty new thing for me.

Working on consistency.

So, that is alot of things. I was able to say goodbye to alot of bigger clothes, so there is NO GOING BACK. ALL MY COMFORT FAT CLOTHES ARE GONE.

That is epic. I spent a pretty penny on some of those clothes and had emotional attachment to some of them.

I got rid of a shirt that I loved that I bought in the middle of my first relationship. I was a beautiful red with black embossed flowers. Very pretty.

Worn 1x or 2x a year at holidays because it was so fancy and pretty.

It was a size 24.

I don't ever want to be a size 24 again.

This is me, taking a moment to recognize that I did a heck of a lot of work to get here! Yes I may have plateaued but I am maintaining a lower weight than I've been able to maintain for almost like 10 years!!!! This is probably close to the best I have maintained for close to 20 years, to be honest. The weight loss journey from 2009 and 2010 was stomped by the trauma of a cheating partner that absolutely blew up my life and my next partner had terrible lifestyle habits that I fought so hard not to fall into, but I definitely did.

I'm just going to celebrate this WIN and allow my body the time to adjust and keep doing the things that I'm doing to continue to be healthier as a person.

I have always been active, yes.

But I deserve to look HOT.

CELEBRATE THIS VICTORY!!
