Episode Synopsis

It's natural to compare ourselves to others, especially when we see our colleagues and friends sharing about their accomplishments, life milestones, and happiness in social media.Even though its a natural emotion, jealousy feels yucky and can linger for a days, weeks and months. It can be destructive making us do unreasonable things, pushing us into aggression or depression. However, by understanding it we can learn how to cope in healthy ways and with time understand what it’s telling us and grow through this. In this episode, we explore the distinction between these two emotions and discuss strategies for managing them and transforming them into a positive perspective.Episode Shownoteshttps://howtolive.life/episode/041-jealousy Related Episodes#02 Achievement vs Fulfilment: https://howtolive.life/ep2spotify #03 Managing everyday stress part 1: https://howtolive.life/ep3spotify#04 Managing everyday stress part 2: https://howtolive.life/ep4spotifyTimestamps00:00 - Intro01:00 - Topic overview01:42 - Main topic starts (difference between jealousy and envy)02:04 - Focusing on envy 03:13 - Focusing on jealousy03:35 - Feeling jealous vs feeling envious 05:14 - How should we deal with jealousy?05:52 - Two schools of thoughts on managing jealousy07:05 - Mindfulness07:47 - Journaling09:08 - Practicing gratitude11:13 - Knowing the root cause which makes us feel threatened and jealous?12:42 - What are we longing for?14:00 - Sharing my own experience and story16:08 - Action step we could do 16:38 - OutroFor Folks Affected by Restructuring4 Week Career Transition Program. https://www.sharadlal.net/thrivethroughtransition How to Live NewsletterGo deeper with articles every 2-3 weeks.
