It doesn't help that we're constantly being bombarded by messages in the media that we should be thinner, happier, younger looking, and more attractive, and if we're not, somehow, it's our own fault.
All these messages can create an environment where we're constantly comparing ourselves to others who seem to have the qualities that we want and don't have. It can lead us to a state of feeling that we don't measure up, leaving us to feel envious of others.
Successful Advertising Often Results in Our Feeling Dissatisfied
Envy: It's Not About the Other Person--Its About You
Passing Moments of Envy vs a Pervasive Pattern of Feeling Envious
All these messages can create an environment where we're constantly comparing ourselves to others who seem to have the qualities that we want and don't have. It can lead us to a state of feeling that we don't measure up, leaving us to feel envious of others.
Successful advertising often results in our feeling dissatisfied with ourselves and wanting to have what we perceive others have which, in turn, leads to our going out and purchasing products or services in a never ending quest to have what we want.
Of course, advertising is not always the culprit that creates dissatisfaction in ourselves and envy of others. In many instances, persistent messages , whether they were explicit or implicit, from our families when we were growing up were that we weren't good enough. So, advertising and other forms of media often reinforce our own longstanding emotional insecurities.

Envy: It's Not About the Other Person--Its About You
The important thing to realize, when you're struggling with envy, is that it's not about the other person--it's about you.
When you're consumed by envy, it's often a sign that your self esteem is in the dumps. Clinical hypnosis is often effective in helping people get to the root of low self esteem and build self confidence.
Clinical hypnosis is not a "magic bullet cure." It's not something that "done to you." It's therapeutic work. When hypnosis is successful, you can discover what's holding you back and work on overcoming it.

We all have passing moments of envy. Often, these are fleeting experiences. But if you find yourself in a state of constantly comparing yourself unfavorably with others and envying them for what you feel you don't have, you owe it to yourself to explore the source of your low self esteem.
