#290: What You Envy in Others 

In this Friday Facts episode, I want to talk about envy and what it is telling you.  What you envy in others or you are bitter or jealous about is actually something you want and can have in your life.  You see in them what is possible for you. So instead of acting with bitterness look at it as a sign or permission for what you can accomplish. Jealousy and envy are extremely low on the vibrational frequency scale and it does nothing but bring your energy down further every single time. 

In today’s episode we discuss:
1) According to Brene Brown, buying into envy means that when you see someone else’s success it takes away from your own. You believe that there is only so much success, money, love or friendship in the world.  It is a “lack” mentality. Jealousy arises at those times when we are at risk for lost connection, abandonment or betrayed trust.  Learning to view, see and recognize jealousy becomes the key to all that we are seeking in our lives. 

2) It is also an experience of looking outside of ourselves for everything.  This is scarcity culture, never enough likes, opportunities or experiences.  

3) What you see is a guide for what is possible.  Ask the questions, why is this triggering you, what is it showing you.  Triggers are our guidepost for what we are capable of creating. When we think we don’t have enough, what we are truly buying into is that we aren’t enough. Self-worth comes first.
