I love being jealous 🐲

I confidently state that jealousy is one of the most useful feelings. That’s a hill I’m willing to die on. 🐲

But aren’t we supposed to be all about positivity and gratitude?

Yes, we are. That doesn’t take away the reality of our human feelings - and those are not always sunshine and rainbows. 🌈

What matters is what you do with a feeling.

When you feel that bitter sting of jealousy there are three routes you can take:

1. Ignore the feeling and try to push it away🧶

Doesn’t work because the emotions don’t just disappear if you act like they are not there, they just grow in silence and you rot from the inside out.

2. Embrace it fully and dwell😒

You could also accept the bitterness and despair that comes with someone having something you don’t have and allow your negativity to spill all over your environment.

Before you know it, you’ll find yourself complaining about anything and everything, making mean snarky little comments, and self-deprecating jokes.

You better turn on a stopwatch to time how long it takes to find a horrible company for your misery. Because anyone in their right mind will run. 🏃💨

3. Use it to grow🌟

Every emotion you feel has a purpose, it is a signal to something.

And jealousy is a super easy one - it tells you what you want. 🏁

Rolling your eyes when you see that one friend posting about their travels all the time? Being annoyed when you see people having expensive things? Making sarcastic comments about every couple you see in public?

Yeah, you’re jealous. You just want those things for yourself.

But that doesn’t make you a bad person!💨

It allows you to reflect and see what you want out of life. And once you know what you want - you start working on it!

Once you start perceiving jealousy this way, it stops being a poisonous feeling that stinks somewhere deep in your soul and becomes nothing more but a direction sign. 📌

And then you can show up for other people’s wins and celebrate them with a full heart.

Your body is literally telling you Yeah, babe, we actually need more money, or Girl, you need to unwind and take a trip - analyze it, appreciate it, work through it.

✨ Other people’s blessings don’t take away from yours. ✨

You don’t need to panic if you see a colleague of yours getting a great work opportunity and immediately go down the spiral of thinking that the world is running out of opportunities.

Don’t allow jealousy to become envy and poison you. ☠️ Don’t just ignore and let it rot, use it to grow.

People who have what you don’t are not your enemies, they are your inspiration.

They are literally just physical proof that that thing you want exists and is attainable.

There is so much abundance in this world. So much. 🌍 _{(we covered the abundance mindset in this class)}

But it comes to people who are open to receiving it. 💫

And that’s why I love getting a cute little rush of jealousy from time to time.

Sending you love and light,

Your Glowing Bestie 💫💖
