I got a text last night from one of my best friends telling me she has got a promotion at work to a senior post. Β She's worked hard for this and thoroughly deserves it, and I am genuinely pleased for her.
Why then was my first thought a pang of envy? Β It was very fleeting and I checked it, told myself it is wrong, and then got back to feeling happy for her.
But it is something that I don't like in myself. Β Any thoughts, please? Β Thanks.Β

It's not wrong. It just shows you that you are believing in lack in some form. Congratulate yourself for noticing it. It means that you are aware that you had a thought that wasn't true and you can move on to better feeling thoughts now. On the other hand, it showed you a desire you are holding. What is it? Use the bad feelings in a positive way (the way they were designed for) and move in the direction of what you want.

Removing envy is a long process! But as Sanshi said you made it !!
The first step is to recognize that it is wrong. The more you'll experience it the less envious you'll be!
My trick is to smile at things at life. You see a couple in the street, smile at them. Say thank you to the universe because it reminds you of what you want. Your friend got a promotion? Smile! Because you're so proud of her and you know you'll be next.Β
You have to love the things you want Β
