Envy
Do you feel the painful experience of envying something or someone? It is a common and unhappy experience?
Envy is common in a culture where we judge so much about worth based on how we look form the outside and what we have. Commercials on TV and other media sometimes play on our envy to induce us to buy stuff, as if stuff will make us have more worth. When we envy a person or what they have we tend to feel small ad insecure. We feel separate and anxious.
When we are supported and more settled in self –acceptance, envy has less of grip on us. We all need one or two people who love us for who we are. If we don’t have one or two such people, we can learn how to connect and reach out.
If you are caught in the grip of envy try detaching from the message that you or your life is lacking something. We all our unique gifts and path. Put your hand on your heart and offer yourself profound acceptance.
