Comparison is getting under my skin.

Common signs...

You may feel...

You are annoyed at their good news, then annoyed at yourself for being annoyed.


What might be going on


Jealousy often shows you where you feel a gap between your life and somebody else's. That does not mean you want their whole life. There may be one visible part of it that represents something you want more of.



Try this now


Step away from the person or post for a bit. Write down exactly what you envy. Then translate it into your own life. Is it freedom, money, attention, confidence, rest, opportunity or something else?



Reflection

Comparison is getting under my skin.

If I could take only one part of what I envy, what would it be?

Is there a specific change you want for your own life now? If yes, write down the first realistic step towards it.
