Did I Experience Envy Today?

There is a saying: "we cannot change what we do not acknowledge". Can we acknowledge the emotion of envy without judgement? For instance, if we experience envy, we may notice that we feel it in the body. There is a tightening sensation... maybe leading to a feeling of sadness, unworthiness or resentment. We see someone has an advantage that we want. We then might start to diminish that person.
Alexander Solshenisyn said," Our envy of others devours us most of all."
However if we acknowledge the emotion of envy, there is a humility, an acceptance of our humanity and imperfection. We then give it (the envy) less power.

The Law of Attraction says that we attract to ourselves that which we dwell on. If we experience insufficiency, we begin to move in that direction. We plant seeds of doubt and limit our confidence and feelings of self-worth.

When was the last time you got caught up in that cycle?
Can you reflect on it?

If you cannot think of any particular moment, here are a few questions from Peter Vajda, Ph.D to get you started:
Do you find it hard to acknowledge, compliment or praise others?
Do you constantly put yourself down?
Do you have a strong need to be seen, appreciated and admired?
Is it easy or challenging for you to empathize with others?
