A mantra that helps me with envy/jealousy (especially of friends’ success/happiness)

Something that triggers me a LOT is when my friends have something good happen to them that I think might make them leave me. A new job, a good response on a project they’re working on, a date going well, etc. I’m obviously happy for them, but it’s hard not to feel like I’m not good enough/they’re gonna find something better and leave me behind.

So I started repeating to myself “others’ success is not my failure” and it actually helps me a lot. Repeating it to myself when I start to get angry about someone else’s success helps me calm down and alleviates the guilt I feel over not being happy for them at first. Once the anger passes I’m able to re evaluate the situation and celebrate my friends :)
