Jealousy: A Thing of the Past
Filed Under Holistic Therapy |
Your neighbor just bought a fancy new car but you?re still driving the same car you?ve had for the past 10 years; Your colleague is going on a 2 week vacation but you haven’t been able to afford a decent getaway for at least 4 years; Your best friend is a successful businessman, but you can?t seem to catch a break?
No matter how happy we may be for other people, it’s still hard not to keep that little feeling of jealousy or envy at bay.
So how do you cope with jealousy and envy?
Whenever my clients or I am confronted with such a situation, I always recommend the following:
In your mind, say the following: “Good for you and good for me too. Good for you that you?re doing so well. I?m thankful that my good fortune is already on its way so I too can enjoy many joyful moments just like you.”
Eventually, as you learn to say it often and at just the right times, you will genuinely begin to believe it in your heart and because your negative emotions are no longer there (or minimized), you will begin to attract joy, good fortune and/or whatever else you are trying to bring into your life.

I love this mantra. I believe it works wonders as long as you are open to it. I always use it when I am feeling a little bit envious ? somehow it makes my negative feelings magically disappear, and good things begin happening to me. Repeat it as often as you need or want to. Say it out loud, in your mind or even write it down on paper. Once you say it a few times, it will begin to come naturally to you and your negative feelings will begin to magically disappear. Try it!
