The feeling of envy is destructive for a person. Due to the constant feeling that other people have something more, better, an individual cannot fully enjoy life.

Step 1
Look at the situation soberly. If you are jealous of a particular person, for example, your friend, think about whether you know all the circumstances of his life. If you are honest and objective in answering the question posed, it will be negative. After all, you cannot know how the individual actually lives, what he feels, whether he is happy in the end. After all, only satisfaction with life can be a real measure of a person's success. There is no sense in the various objects that a person possesses, in the attributes of well-being that surround him, if at the same time he feels unhappy. So, you see only the outer shell of the world of others. And if you envy them in general, then this is envy of their attitude to life.
Step 2
Reconsider your attitude towards life. Surely, there is a lot of good in it, and you could be a satisfied person if you focused on what you have, and not on what you would like to get, what the rest have. For example, you are jealous of someone else's career. You are attracted by the image of a business person, some power that he has and a large income. But think, because along with a higher position, a person loses a significant part of his personal freedom. He has less time for himself and his family, but more responsibility for work. At the same time, you have the opportunity to pursue your personal life and harmoniously develop your reality in all its areas, and not just in one. Be content with what you have, perhaps the most optimal lifestyle for you. And you poison your existence with envy instead of enjoying every day.
Step 3
Take its constructive component from envy, and then part with this feeling. The fact is that this emotion can not only bring you anxiety and grief, but also become a motivator for changing your life for the better. If you yourself cannot determine in which direction to go, someone else's success can become a guide for you. For example, you are not yet able to identify your life goals and set tasks for yourself, you do not know who you want to be, what aspects are important to you. At the same time, you are attracted by the other person's lifestyle, and you are desperately jealous of him. Don't let this feeling burn you. Better think about what exactly attracts you to an individual. Perhaps he has some kind of character trait that you lack. Work on yourself, focus on your own life, not someone else's.
