Have you ever felt that tangible pang of jealousy when looking at someone (or something)?
Joana wrote in with a question, expressing that she loves and supports all that I’m creating and doing – but at the same time, can’t help but feel a little jealous, as well.
In today’s LanaTV episode, I wanted to share with you some advice for pivoting from experiencing envy to feeling empowered.
Now I’d love to hear from you!
Leave a Comment: How do you approach feeling envy or jealousy? How have you turned it around to something that serves you and feels good?
Can’t wait to read your comments and turn feeling green into manifesting gold!!!
In Joy,
Lana
Love the video!! Never thought about jealousy like that. Great way to approach it! 🙂
Jealous is kind of a rare feeling to me, but we all feel it sometimes, of course. I never thought about it as them having something I don’t believe it’s possible for me! But it is the simplest way to explain it, and to turn it around. I would just suppress the feeling and judge/get mad at myself. Thank you so much for that lesson, you’re awesome! 🙂
So glad that it’s a rare feeling for you Graziela! And that now you’ll own it and make it work for you!!!
I’ve created a HUGE vision board that’s hung next to my desk, out of a cork board. I write every letter, message and note I get that is loving and reminds me that – YO – I’m getting shish DONE! and pit it up so I can see it often. Especially when I hit comparisonitus.
Now it’s become habitual. <3
LOVE YOU MISS THANG! xo B
What a great idea, Brandon! That way your successes are always visible – brilliant! Love you too!
I love this, Lana! Like I said to you on the phone more times than we can count, “negative” emotions are completely normal and part of being human. What we do with them – that’s where the beauty lies. I adore your work and you!

PS – Yesterday when I had a huge win at the gym, I gave my past limitations double middle fingers as soon as I was alone where no one could see me. 😉
Yes, yes, yes, Rev. Kerti! When we honor and welcome all emotions, they serve us!
Great topic, Lana! When I get that pang of discomfort about someone having something that I wish I had, then I consciously remind myself that if I am seeing it, then I can have it. We notice the things that we desire and when we see it manifested outside of us, then it originated inside us. What we are seeing in our world is what we have created. So even though it appears that someone else has it (and we don’t), what is really going on is that we are manifesting! That is reason to celebrate!! I love your idea of reminding ourselves of what he have already accomplished and manifested in our lives.
Yes, that is exactly how it works – we manifest our versions of those people and circumstances! Love how you put it, Phoebe!
Thanks Lana, this was a great reminder. When I see others’ success, it’s so easy for me to berate myself for slow progress. And there is that feeling of “I may never make it.” I love the thought of seeing every other person’s success as proof that it’s possible.
Plus the fact that truly celebrating others successes means you have so many more opportunities to lift your spirits and shout “Woohoo!”
😀
So glad that this video reminded you how amazing you are and that you can celebrate with others while on your way to more personal successes, Alison! And don’t forget to start an accomplishments folder or vision board where you keep track of all of the things you have already achieved to remind yourself of how far you’ve come frequently!
Loved this video! !!!! Thank you so much! !!!!! What works for me is what you said- reminding myself of what I love and appwatching bout myself by making a list of everything I can think of that I love and appreciate about myself.
I also like to put some uplifting music and see myself in situations from the past in which I really loved who I was, like watching a video clip of myself – a very flattering one- in my mind:-)
Yes, using jealousy/comparison to identify what we want and then visualize us living it is such a beautiful way to turn it around and feel amazing, Mor!
Since it was me who wrote in despair to you, the revelation that it’s my lack mentality that keeps me in the zone of envy, struck me really hard. Or, to say it even more clear, it felt like a big fat slap in the face.
While I am writing this I notice, that some of the “this will never be possible to me thoughts” begin to unravel and that a deeper truth sinks in.
I am still in a kind of confused zone, so the only thing I can say to you is: Thank you Lana for answering my question.
Joana, sweetheart, be gentle with yourself! We are all on a journey to more self-fulfillment and sounds like you are discovering a lot of opportunities to appreciate yourself more and realize how incredible you are! Thank you for this wonderful question. Sending you love!!
