How to personally deal with envy

How can we define envy?

Envy is a feeling that everyone lives with at some point in our lives. It is a desire to possess what the other belongs to; therefore, it is characterized by disgust at the happiness of others.

How to deal with envy

As much as no one likes to admit it, the first step in dealing with envy is to accept it. Of course, there are different envy levels, and some people even commit crimes because of that feeling that takes care of themselves, but the envy that doesn't hurt, the one that we feel temporarily can be worked on so that it doesn't become something bigger.

After the acceptance period, it is time to understand why you feel jealous of a certain person about something. It is not simple and requires a robust process of self - knowledge.

Finally, try to accept yourself, understanding that you have difficulties, limitations, and are not perfect. Focus more on yourself and less on comparing yourself with others. Especially because if you want to develop and evolve, the chances of getting where you want are much greater when you are focused.

Tip: in many cases, it is advisable to see a psychologist for help with this whole process, especially when you feel that envy is taking on enormous proportions and damaging your life. During therapy, you can experience a profound process of self-knowledge that contributes a lot to this discovery.
