You have to recognize the pattern.

You have to own that you're likely operating from a distorted perspective.

If you experience jealousy, it is an all but guarantee.

You have to learn how to correct your assumptions.

You have to stop justifying your emotional indulgence in this victim narrative.

And you have to learn how to oppose this behavior.

I put together some examples of things that you can do to oppose this behavior.

One, we just talked about celebrate someone publicly without redirecting attention to yourself.

And by the way,

This one is classic.

And I've seen people who are trying to transcend this in themselves still do this, where they will insert themselves in something and redirect it back to themselves.

That's not the same thing.

Practice gratitude without allowing any sort of comparison language in your head.

If you notice that you are gossiping, stop yourself right away and say, I'm really trying to work on that.

I'm going to cut myself off right here.

There's obviously something in me that is upset or feels disgruntled.

I'm not going to allow myself to gossip.

I apologize.

I'm going to stop.

Pull back right now.
