SERIOUSLY SPEAKING - JEALOUS, MUCH?

Jealousy, like many of our feelings, is on the 'bad' list.

We are exhorted not to feel it - and immediately find ourselves in a head on crash between what is actual and what is 'should'!

3)  Make a list of some of the different times in your life you have experienced this.  How far back can you go?

4)  Jealousy is based on a belief that what is available is limited.  Who gave you that belief?  Often, these things start in early childhood with siblings…

5)  Imagine rewriting those early experiences as if 'abundance' was the underlying principle…
