And the antidote to envy is.......

And the antidote to envy is.......:
To envy is human. But envy robs us of so many possibilities including:
  • Achievement.
  • Peace.
  • Humility.
  • Connection.
  • Happiness.
  • Our best thinking, our best work, our best life.
So how do we get past our feelings of envy? To explore this, we need to think about what's going on when we experience envy. Envy occurs when we compare ourselves to others and when we feel unsatisfied, outdone, or a lack of confidence. Comparison and regret.
What's the antidote, then? You can't make a chocolate cake without chocolate. Remove either the comparison or the regret and you will prevent envy. And here is a fool proof way to quickly transition out of feelings of envy.
Become a fan. Instead of comparing yourself to someone else, show admiration. Give congratulations. Take the initiative to show support. Don't do this for show, become a fan for real. Shift your thinking from regret to being a fan and you will zap envy in its tracks. It can happen very quickly but only if you are sincere.
Envy is a killer. Envy will get in the way of your goals and dreams. Make it go away. Poof!
