This video explores how comparing ourselves to others can undermine wellbeing and motivation. It explains that social comparison often focuses on someone else’s highlight reel rather than their whole story, leading to dissatisfaction and unrealistic expectations. Instead of using others as a benchmark for self-worth, the speaker encourages viewers to focus on personal progress, values, and individual growth. Awareness of comparison habits and intentionally redirecting attention toward your own goals can reduce stress and build self-confidence. The message emphasizes internal anchors — growth, curiosity, and self-compassion — rather than external validation.

Reflective Questions

- When do you notice yourself comparing to others, and what trigger precedes it?

- How might focusing on your own progress change your sense of wellbeing this week?

- What is one personal value you can center that comparison doesn’t address?

Kids aren’t wired for constant stimulation…
they’re wired for meaningful experiences 🌍

🧠 What children repeat, their brains learn to prefer.

And right now? Fast, high-reward inputs are everywhere. This is addictive and drives children to obsessively seek out more input from screens and processed food (without actually enjoying it more)

But the kinds of experiences that actually build regulation, resilience, and confidence are slower… quieter… and often overlooked.

Like:
✅ Sunlight on their face.
✅ Getting lost in a book.
✅ Laughing until they can’t breathe.
✅ Being bored enough to create something new.
✅ Feeling proud after doing something hard.

These moments don’t compete with screens in intensity—
but they outperform them in development.

They build:
• Attention
• Emotional regulation
• Connection
• A sense of capability

✨ Not all dopamine is created equal.

The goal isn’t to eliminate joy or stimulation—t’s to help children experience the kind that builds them, not depletes them.

We are honoured to support TAGGS this year.

Proud that our Clinic Director, Josh Lockhart, is leading the keynote panel for the Geek Therapy Awards.

At Cosmos Counselling Clinic, we see every day how powerful it is when people’s interests—games, stories, and characters—are used as a bridge for connection and healing, especially with children, youth, and families.

We are thrilled to welcome Cosmos Counseling Clinic as a sponsor of TAGGS! 🌟

Cosmos is a perfect fit for our community. With a trauma and attachment-focused approach, a positive psychology lens, and a deep celebration of geek culture, they've built something really special: a safe and inclusive space where you can explore your story, find healing, and embrace your authentic self.

They offer in-person counselling in Cranbrook, BC and the surrounding area, plus online counselling throughout BC.

Their tagline says it all: "Empowering you to discover your inner universe, so you can shine bright like the stars!" 🌌

If you or someone you know in BC could use a counsellor who actually gets geek culture, check them out at cosmoscounselling.ca

And if you haven't grabbed your TAGGS tickets yet, they're still available! Head to taggs.geektherapy.org

Geek Out. Do Good. 💚
