Im an atheist, but I really value buddhists teachings. This video helped me A LOT. I felt all the jealousy go down the drain from a second to another. I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL

I could not agree more when you said everything we have now which is not giving us full contentment is something that at one point in the past we told ourselves: "that's all I want to be happy".

this really helped me a lot... thank you very much... and i was even inspired/motivated to do better in my studies... i was jealous of my friend because she got latin honors and i did not... i got jealous in an instant, it really is a poison... so i started watching videos like this one... but this video helped me stop my jealousy towards her... it really is amazing... i'll strive better that she is in the future.. and that truly, i've been really blessed with a lot of things... maybe even more than her... now i feel like she really deserves to have it... :D thank you so much...

wow I can't express how happy I am to have clicked on your video. I was having a fit of jealousy and can't stand the feeling, I have acquired it over a certain person in my life for a year or two now. I felt like the unspoken competitiveness was very relatable (real and imagined). It feels like a weight on my heart and it's time to let it go. I've dabbled in meditation and read books on mindfulness, but it's a difficult thing to shake. After the exercise I felt light again. I took notice on how fortunate I am (and take a lot for granted) and how happy this other person would be if they obtained what I do. Therefor making me feel glad for their recent achievement. It also helped me realize that I can obtain what they have, for myself in my own life. Thank you again, I really needed this and will watch it religiously.

your videos are deep, thoughtful and thorough. you also talk about subjects no one else brings up such as this. i love you kind honest personality, keep making more, they are very helpful.

Thanks for this video. I am presently struggling to get a job. My best mate has just secured a second job working 2 days a week. His first job was working 3 days a week. We have very similar skills and job roles. I was feeling really envious today, but he is my best mate and I have been struggling with being envious of my best mate. I did the exercise you talked us through and it really helped me to focus on what I have and not on what other people have. I have a beautiful wife and she keeps telling me how privileged, blessed, healthful I am but sometimes I just don't see it. My best mate has secured 2 jobs and I am sure I will get a job soon. Thanks for a wonderful video.

I love your video, to me I don't know if what I have is envy or comparison thinking because I feel like a push thats makes me realize about what do I want and Why I don't move to get it and other persons does. Thanks a lot. A big hug.

This video made me cry happy tears, thank you for sharing so much of your knowledge and so many of your techniques for living a happier life, it has really helped me through a difficult part of my life and I think I will forever use your techniques and the many teachings of Buddha from now on :)

This video was amazing but I had one concern. When I made the list, I started thinking what THEY would put on their list on what they have I don't. ...I got envious again. How can I not worry abt this do much. :( thanks for sharing this amazing video! 👍

I really wish things like this worked, I can't think of anything I have that they don't t write down here. I hate most of my family and the ones I don't hate I don't think I have any love for. I have two friends in the world and one of them is a person I'm extremely jealous of, so I can't write them down either. I feel even worse now that I see how pointless and destructive my existence is. Hopefully most of the people trying this method actually have something to live for, good luck everyone.

Wonderful video (as always) Mindah! Thank you so much. You are an amazing inspiration. Please keep uploading!

Thank you for uploading these videos! I watch them all and I love them :) Namaste & keep uploading!

Love this, thank you for helping me over come the GREEN-EYED monster!

Love this! Thanks for covering such an important topic

Thank you, it's so kind for you to provide this reframing technique in order to work through this emotion. It was delivered gently and was helpful.

Thank you so much for this video and all the other helpful videos you have given the world. I truly appreciate the time and effort you have put forth in your videos. They have helped me grow in so many positive ways. I am so grateful for all you do and to have discovered your channel. Keep up the awesome work! : )

Excellent. Saving this one to watch a few more times.

Thank you so much!!! Your smile is so beautiful :3

in the Zen text, The Book of Equanimity, we read, "When sounds and colors are not let go of, this is conditioned by one's environment." So, we negate from jealousy, for instance, when we are not enthusiastic for family, friends, etc... who acquire something we ourselves may covet. We would all do well, to heed and bypass, such judgments. When they arise, we push down! In Zen literature it is paramount that when we give up our small attachments, we receive the boundless life.

Thank you again... This is an appropriate subject for the situation I find myself in. Keep up the good work. Dhamma can be quite confusing, but the way you explain things is easy to understand. Sadhu x3

This was a very eye opening video, it helped me appreciate things I’ve taken for granted.

To overcome triggers distance is important; including I should not forget my objectives.

A wonderful excerise. well done. 🙏

Mindah, many thanks for sharing this video.

Thank you so much. Your saved me from this toxic feeling thank you

Thank you so much.. Very logically explained.

Fantastic Videos! Great channel. Thank you!

OMG! I just realized - I hardly have anything in my column "Things I have that they don't have"! I didnt realized my jealousy is worse than I thought! You ruined my day! :(

WOW! Thank you! I have always been a really envious/jealous person, I think i will always struggle a little with it. I don't really know why. I hate the feeling, it makes me feel so terrible about myself and it usually brings back past emotions like jealously. When you said that once you had finished this exercise you noticed all the jealousy lift off your shoulders, i thought to myself that it would never work with me because i find it so hard to move my thoughts. I just finished the exercise and I can't believe how much better i feel! It's incredible! Thank you so much for sharing this :)

the exercise is amazing, thank you!!!!!!!

Great video thank you 🙏🏾

Thankyou for that, It really helped me Overcome that terrible feeling...

The compassion for a jealous a one only comes when sorrow replaces these so called lucky peoples fortunes n there lives sad but true..

terrific advice, youve save me from this hard to endure jealousy, namo buddhaya

thank you so much. this helped me a lot. bless you!

Hi Minda. I am so appreciative of your videos! I am inspired by your teachings, and I am so glad to have discovered your channel. I am especially glad that you did this particular video, because I have long been conflicted about the value of gratitude exercises. On one hand, I see the potential value of recognizing the many things we have in our lives. It can make us feel good in the moment. But on the other hand, doesn't the practice of accentuating these positive things result in our using external events as a source of happiness (which I thought is what we are trying to move away from)? For example, if I remind myself of my wonderful job, or my nice home, then aren't I trying to make these external objects/events the source of my happiness? Thank you for your insights!

Your videos have really helped me. Thank you so much.

This was genious!!! Thank you thank you thank you :)

Love ur content thanks for everything that u do bless u. May i ask where you got that beautiful buddha statue. I been looking everywhere for one that i really love and urs seems soo good

It definitely helped me....Thank you very much............

thank u for this great video

Excellent.

very nice!

I think your exercise is awesome ^_^! I have meditated and affirmed such a progression, before, but never put pen to paper. I think this exercise is perfect for people learning the art of mindfulness and its practicality toward alleviating an aspect of their self-induced suffering. I learned and acquired some insight right now, Namaste...

very good.

Thank you

thank you

I really need help, please read: I have a GF, she's the same age than me, but she always had it all, she has already lived in LA, she's been in germany, Austria, Italy, She has my dream life, she also makes fun of people who has less money than her. She never had a job, she never made a penny by herself. I've never been on a plane, I've never been out of México, I've had a lot of jobs, I save money to invest. I'm COMPLETELY sure that I'll accomplish my dreams to travel around the world, but I just kinda hate her now, to having all these opportunitties and doing nothing to get them or appreciate them. What should I do about her? I think it has became into a competition... I don't know what to do.

I like the idea of this exercise but it won't work for everyone. Not everyone has close family and friends, a good job, nice possessions, etc. It might just make them feel worse as they realise most people probably have a lot more to be grateful for.

Thank You You are an Angel

Amazing Video. :)

Thank you.......

Dear Mindah, Thank you for this video, it really helped put some perspective on such a dark emotion. I would like to ask about how to deal with disappointment in self and sadness. I find these types of emotions to be difficult to process through the buddhist mindset and somehow disturbs me when I try to meditate. Instead I tend to push it aside and leave it for later as the emotions dissipate. Thank you always ^___^

U really helped

Thank you... :-)

However, Mindah-Lee, it takes a very empowered being, to admit jealousy and envy, and to transcend such limitations!

Hi, and thank you for making this video. I was almost never jealous or envyous and it's been around a week and I've started feeling such feelings towards a friend of mine. I feel like I want to cut ties with this friend because talking to them brings me such unhappiness that it's poisoning my mind. I can't stop thinking about them, and I know it wouldn t be fair to cut ties with them because of a feeling I'm having but at the same time I feel like they're also doing it on purpose, trying to make me feel this way, but that could also be in my head and not a real thing. I care about this friend and it isn t fair and might bring them suffering if I cut ties but at the same time having them in my life isn't a positive thing anymore. What do you think I should do? Thank you and have a nice day 🤗

excellent video! I want to know your opinion on praying to the buddha. I personally don;t think the buddha will respond to prayers as he taught us that we must walk our own path and he can only show us the way. In your opinion, does praying to the buddha work?

ah..jealousy...but I've overcame it:) never really had it in relationships..but much in friendships!!

Victory breeds jealousy and hatred.

Watching this video gives me a better understanding between those 2 emotions even though it's hard to ignore those 2 emotions' 'for example" I am jealous and envious towards any guy with girlfriends who mainly are very similar to my dream girlfriend that i want to have which i do have very good taste in women and when i see guys who are very lucky and fortunate enough to have girlfriends who are very similar to my type'' it makes me feel angry deep down inside and i feel it's so unfair. Keep up the good work.

this is so true. My whole life I was envious of all the popular kids in High School because I was an introvert. I ended up having a great job that allows me 4 months off a year to live in Asia part time. In Asia i get all the attention I couldnt dream of as a teenager. Yet, im still not happy because of my high school experience. Just goes to show that accomplishments only bring temporary peace and happiness. Long term peace/happiness comes from inner balance

I envy good health. I resent my short end of the stick about my genetics. I hate that I have to try harder than other people to be happy, to achieve my goals. I have often thought of punishing people for being happier than me and I silence myself to avoid pity, which would infuriate me. Unfortunately I have festered in this emotion too long and I don't see myself maturing past this. I genuinely wish for destruction on a global scale. But I don't want to hurt the planet, only humans.

Muditha (Altruistic Joy) Bliss.

How to overcome an envious and stalking Green-Eyed Monster who tries to destroy my life for reasons of jealousy? I wish she would forget me, but her boyfriend (who had a relationship with me) continually reminds her of my existence? I understand she is not purposefully jealous/envious and I have already forgiven her, I don't hate her nor wish her anything bad, but how can I get her stupid boyfriend to stop mentioning me? It almost seems that she subconsciously choose a man who can't forget me.

The thing THAT MAKES ME JEALOUS this is to prove how much i hate my life right now... I just want to say that i hate my current life soo much that i don't give a dam about nobody but myself i feel like a loser and eagle is low and i'm just trying to say that i'm jealous of justin biebers lifestyle Waw i say to myself a dod who became famous by starting a freakinn youtube channel and singing and posting it on freakin youtube and then from youtube to a live stage and then becasue if his talents he went on from youtube to becoming rich and famous and to having all the girls to a laferrari and known. Even his own Mansion waw i say what a crazy life we live in. and man how i wish i can have all that! to thats what makes me super jealous all the time i see songs and albums about justin and famous celebs i try not to even look at them because they give me bad envy about them i try to not look at tv nomore and all i feel like doing everybody is disapearing from civilisation and live in the woods were there's always clise to nature and i do not want ti see no human face anymore and live and die in the desert;(

what if my envy comes from their canvas? i feel envy of other teenage boys that have a cute face, or decent face, long or nice hair. or even when they have a couple...i feel a horrible envy for those, as i am ugly, curled and despicable hair and lonely, what can i do?

what if the subject of envy is sth intangible...like more intelligence..more ability to learn...the desire to have sth or do sth? Ok wht if it is a better social life...good friends...good parents...better education?

Lovely Zealous Practitioner.

I hate jealousy I literally got jealous of the ship Giyuu x shinobou

why is it human nature, to respond to anything positive, with negativity? -_-

a little critique: You need to shift more to the center. Video should be edited to be more dyanimic. at the moment its very 'dull' and 'drab'. try adding some words, sounds, music, pictures whle you talk etc.I would reccomend maybe coming closer to the camera too.

5 people are still jealous of you.

Thank you

thank you
