Episode Summary

Ever been jealous of someone else? If you’re human, this answer is an easy “yes!” Learn how I was able to pivot from jealousy to inspiration at a yoga class and get four practical tips on how you can do the same.

Episode Notes

There I was, in a yoga class, working hard to configure myself into the instructed pose. I glanced at the woman beside me in awe: how is she doing that with her body? 

Wow. At first, I was immediately jealous. Then, I was inspired. I want to be able to do that! 

Can you relate? 

Learn how I was able to pivot from jealousy to inspiration and get four practical tips on how you can do the same.

Tangible Takeaways:

• Comparing ourselves to others is normal. Have grace for yourself. Be careful that you don’t live in jealousy. Use comparison for inspiration to be a better version of you.
• Be content and celebrate the things that you already have and enjoy them! If you can't enjoy the things that you have, you're always going to be wanting something better or different.
• Recognize that underneath envy or jealousy is a longing. Your job is to be more curious about your longing versus having a pity party.
• Success does not happen overnight, and it is not usually handed to anybody on a platter. It is something that we earn. So when you feel envy for someone else’s success, remember: they’ve probably earned it.
• Name what you want that they have, follow that up and ask: are you willing to do what it takes to get there too?
• Claim your dreams as if they’re already true! 
• Once you have your goal, create a tangible action plan. Break things down into actionable steps and go for it. Success is built on the back of a million small things!
