We all know that we don’t love feeling jealous, but do we know the difference between jealous and envy? When we feel them, where do we go from there? What about when we feel resentful of someone? Where does this emotion come from and who is responsible for it? In this episode, we deep dive into these emotions using Brene Brown’s work as a guideline. Resentment is in the envy family, along with a host of other unpleasant emotions. We give some ideas on how to process these difficult feelings.Time Stamps 10:54 - Our language shapes our world, 13:20 - Comparison isn’t inherently bad, it’s a natural part of being human 18:00 - Stay in your lane and your journey 19:54 - Humans are happier if they are forced to commit to a decision 26:15 - Feeling content with fashion 32:30 - Definition of Jealousy vs. Envy 34:09 - Malicious envy vs. just plain envy 38:45 - Resentment is a part of the envy family 42:00 - What do I need that I’m afraid to ask for? 43:00 - Schadenfreude & Freudenfreude 45:20 - Cultivating flame-keepers 50:32 - “Rejoice in the success of others” 52:30 - Develop Freudenfreude using “Shoy” and “Bragitude” 54:52 - Social media can be a detriment for our ability feel freudenfreudeRelated episodes:How to Process Jealousy and Resist the Gaping Pit of Comparison Comparison vs. ContentmentBooks and links we mentioned:Atlas of the Heart // Brené BrownDecide Already by Hidden BrainSponsor:GABB WIRELESSWe LOVE devices that help our kids stay safe and be able to adventure while still being able to contact us safely and allow us to know where they are without being the kind of technology that steals their mental health and attention.
