How Do You Feel? Part 17: Jealous ☸️
What is jealousy ✨really✨ trying to tell you?
This week, we’re covering jealousy. Contrary to popular belief, jealousy isn’t always an inherently negative feeling. Like every emotion, it has a purpose. Sometimes jealousy highlights what we value- it could be a friendship or relationship, a job, a home, or other goals we’re striving towards.
