Perfect Hack When Jealousy Hits!

What can you do when the green-eyed monster hits you?

With all of the social media we consume it is easy to look around and think that everyone else has a fabulous life. Although I must admit I have a few friends who post all of the terrible things going on in their life. I have learned to stay far away from this kind of stinking thinking.

But most of social media is filled with glamour and glitz. It can be the most narcissistic of news sources. Add to that TV, Netflix and all of the other sources of content and it can be easy to get in a slump about our very mundane and boring lives.

It’s easy to jump to that pesky feeling of jealousy. Our friends have the perfect boy/girlfriend. They have the most advanced and beautiful children. One of those symbols was the town where I raised my kids, so many cars with bumper stickers from Ivy League schools. And everyone asked in the spring, “Where is your child going to college?” No pressure there.

We see some fabulous vacation pictures and friends out celebrating with lots of friends or off to a show or concert and it’s easy to feel that tug of “why them and not me?” It’s easy to feel that way about celebrities and very successful people. Even people we work with may be moving up the ladder faster, or chosen for a project that we had hoped for. I know I can feel it. We all do.

So here is a GREAT tip! Change that question around and say “AND THAT”S FOR ME!”

Why not? Now when I can catch myself having a pity party about something I declare, “And that’s for me!” It changes my whole demeanor and actually gets me excited instead of feeling glum.

The universe loves to bring you what you want and are thinking about. If that’s what you want, declare it. See what happens.
