Everyone has days where they feel one-upped or second-best. However, life is a race meant to be run looking ahead, not to the side. Focusing on the performance of others can hinder your own. Instead, try focusing on core truths that you know about yourself. It may sound cheesy at first, but it can greatly influence your mental state and inner monologue. Here are some affirmations to help keep your anxiety low and your self-confidence high.
