As we embark on #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth, it's essential to shine a light on emotions that often lurk in the shadows, waiting to be acknowledged and transformed. Today, I want to talk about envy and its transformative potential into inspiration.
ENVY, is a low vibrational emotion we feel when we see someone else achieving what we desire for ourselves. It is like saying - "When I see someone else with something I want, I feel resentful, because I don't believe that I can have it for myself".
INSPIRATION is a high vibrational feeling that stems from an #abundance #mindset. It is like Seeing something that you desire and telling the universe - "I believe there is enough for everyone and I believe that I can have it too".
Social Media is one of the industry that is literally driven by envy; it actively encourages us to compare ourselves to others so that we buy what others have, do what others are doing, irrespective of being mindful, whether we want that or not.
How often do you come off social media feeling just a little bit worse about yourself and your life than you did before you went on?
My advice? Turn your envy into inspiration.
Whenever we experience envy, we have an opportunity to reframe our thinking and choose an inspired perspective that will push us closer to our dreams.
💡 Envious thought - This is something that they have and I can't have.
💡Inspired thought - This is something that they have and that I would like for myself too.
Remember to Make consistent choice to to turn your envy into inspiration! Monitor and manage your social media usage. Follow people who inspire and motivate you. Engage with experts you can learn from. Create genuine, positive relationships. Just STOP mindless scrolling, complaining, hating and engaging in negativity and bitterness.
Together, let's make this Mental Health Awareness Month a time for self-reflection, growth, and compassion. Let's also remember to celebrate self-care and well-being. From mindfulness practices to moments of joy, prioritizing mental health is a gift we give ourselves and those around us.
