Envy

Envy

Envy is the feeling of wanting something that someone else has. It's a natural emotion that everyone experiences.

Details

Envy is the feeling you get when you want something that someone else has — their appearance, abilities, achievements, and more.

Envy is nothing to be ashamed of. It's a completely natural emotion that everyone feels. However, if envy turns into self-criticism, it can become a problem.

When you notice envy, try shifting your thinking to: 'So I want that too. What do I actually need?' — Mindy believes this can transform envy into motivating energy.

💡 Real-Life Example

'Feeling a pang of longing while looking at a friend's travel photos on social media' — that's envy. It's something everyone feels.
