5 Ways to Follow Jealousy to Find Your Joy

Do you ever feel stuck? Like your soul wants to be doing something other than what you’re actually doing, even if you’re not exactly sure what that is? Sometimes we know what our hearts are craving and other times it seems we just catch glimmers or whispers.Our modern world doesn’t exactly prioritize our heart’s desires over our to-do lists, and the messages from our soul can get downright squashed. We’re generally not taught how to pay attention to these knocks.How can we know what our soul wants us to do?Have you considered accessing it through jealousy?It was a bit of a shock to me when, after fifteen years of doing yoga and threatening to get my yoga teacher certification but never actually doing it, I noticed myself critiquing other teachers’ classes, especially teachers who were newer at the game.After the tenth time or so of saying “Sheesh, I could have taught a better class,” I was struck by the awareness that I was actually envious. I might have been able to teach a better class, but no one would ever know it, including me.
