A conversation about the difference between envy and jealousy - some resources:

From a needs perspective, being in a state of envy, jealousy and resentment is the polar opposite of feeling safety, tranquility and equanimity. http://intentionalworkplace.com/2011/07/07/envy-jealousy-resentment-%E2%80%93-the-%E2%80%9Ccomparison%E2%80%9D-emotions-at-work/


According to Georgetown University psychologist W. Gerrod Parrott, Ph.D., envy occurs when a person lacks another person's superior quality, achievement, or possession, and desires it—or wishes that the other person lacked it. Jealousy, by contrast, occurs in the context of a close relationship when a person fears losing an important other to a rival—in particular, losing a relationship that is important to one's sense of self. From Psychology Today http://www.psychologytoday.com/articles/199401/devastating-difference

Easy way to remember the difference between envy and jealousy: Envy is the emotion when you want something that someone else has. Jealousy is the emotion when you fear something you have or someone you are with have might be taken away from you.  http://www.diffen.com/difference/Envy_vs_Jealousy


“To cure jealousy is to see it for what it is: a dissatisfaction with self.” ~Joan Didion

Hi Everyone,

Sometimes, there are times when I just need to turn off the television, my phone, my appointment book, etc., and check out. It isn't that I don't care, it is that I care so much that my system gets overwhelmed because I am not made to solve all the world's problems all by myself, right now. It is hard to turn it off, because I want to stay connected and informed, yet I also need to nurture my own soul so that when it does come time for me to take an action that I can take, that I am healthy and well rested, and well prepared, emotionally, physically, spiritually, and intellectually. This video by Amy Poehler, answering a young person's question about how to deal with the bombardment of images and stories, is a wise and thoughtful response to the feeling of image, news, and social media overwhelm. Many blessings to all of you and I am grateful for all I have and all that I can share. 

Love, DJ Noni
