Envy has always been considered a sin, a feeling that destroys a person. Its reasons lie in the unmet need for something meaningful to us. Jealousy appears when we start comparing ourselves to others who seem to be more successful people. The smaller the difference in social status between the object of envy and the envious, the more painful the feeling of envy. How can you get rid of this heavy feeling?
Instructions
Step 1
We do not even know that the object of envy would sometimes gladly change places with us. The medal has two sides. A good position is always associated with much greater responsibility; beauty does not guarantee family happiness. Often remember the saying "It's good where we are not."
Step 2
Stop endlessly comparing yourself to others. It is much more useful to compare “self-in-the-past” and “self-in-the-present”. So you can completely take over the solution of your problems.
Step 3
Remember where the origins of your envy come from. Do you think your parents have missed something important? Or that you yourself have missed a good moment in your life? Forgive yourself and your family for this, and start from scratch.
Step 4
Think, do you really need what you are so desperately jealous of? Why do you want this so much? Look for the root cause of your envy. Then one day you can be free of it forever.
Step 5
Instead of lamenting over the success of your friends again, start living your own life using the opportunities available to you.
Step 6
Take care and value what you have. There are many people in the world who live much worse than you. And they do not always despair or envy others. Sometimes it is helpful to imagine what life would be like without the things you are used to, without the people you love. This is immediately sobering, and the desire to envy disappears by itself.
Step 7
Envy isn't always destructive. It can be an incentive to achieve great success. The main thing is to direct your thoughts in a constructive direction. Think about what helped the person you envy succeed. Make a plan of what you want to get in the next three to five years, and move towards your goal without being distracted by envy anymore. Develop in yourself the ability to sincerely rejoice at both your own successes and the successes of others - and life will sparkle with new colors.
