The 3 Stages of Envy

Envy is a slithering snake in tall grass

Become aware of it in order to stop it

(THREAD)⬇️
In the world of social media

Envy is everywhere.

When we compare ourselves to others

We let’s envy’s grip take hold

This brings on stage 1: Scarcity
⬇️
Stage 1: Scarcity

When we see someone else achieve

We begin to feel as if there is less out there for ourselves

We see a friend get married and think

“There’s no one out there for me”

This thinking leads us to stage 2
⬇️
Stage 2: Feeling Unworthy

We ask ourselves

“Why hasn’t this happened to me?”

“If I was worthy, then it would have happened already”

Self worth begins to drop.

This stage of envy has long lasting effects.

To projects ourselves

We move to stage 3⬇️
Stage 3: Resentment

Resentment is the feeling of being treated unfairly.

This is your ego talking.

To protect ourselves

We push away the people who make us feel envy

But In the end

only end up hurting ourselves

by pushing away our loved ones
⬇️
So how do we kill the snake?

Envy is best conquered

By comparison of oneself.

Ask yourself,

“How do I compare to myself of 3 years ago?”
⬇️
A LOT can happen and change

in 3 years.

Comparing yourself to your past

helps us appreciate our achievements.

Spot envy from the distance

And end the comparisons for good.
