Make a list of five people you care about, but also feel competitive with. Come up with at least one reason that youre envious of each one: something theyve achieved, something theyre better at, something thats gone well for them. Did that achievement actually take anything away from you? Now think about how it benefitted your friend. Visualize everything good that has come to them from this achievement. Would you want to take any of these things away if you could, even knowing that they would not come to you? If so, this envy is robbing you of joy. Envy is more destructive to you than whatever your friend has accomplished. Spend your energy transforming it.
