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.
