The Overcoming Envy IQ Matrix explores how to work through your feelings of envy in optimal and helpful ways. The mind map is built upon the premise that we hurt our growth and development when we compare ourselves to others or try to live up to society’s standards and expectations. We must, instead, focus on walking our own path rather than worrying about what other people are doing or not doing. We can, in fact, use envy as a catalyst to make positive changes in our lives.
This map walks you through what it means to feel envious of other people. It then takes you through a seven-step process you can use to overcome your feelings of envy in social situations.
Here is a quick breakdown of each branch of the Overcoming Envy mind map.
- What is Envy?: The first branch of this mind map explores what envy is about and how it gains a foothold in our lives. It’s important to note that envy is not the same as jealousy. Envy is when someone has something we want, while jealousy is a feeling of potentially losing something that is already ours.
- Overcoming Envy Process: The remaining three branches break down a seven-step process you can use to overcome envy. This process is designed to help you move away from feelings of inferiority and inadequacy, and into a feeling of empowerment where you are motivated to make positive changes in your life. The idea behind this process of steps is to fill the gap that your feelings of envy have brought to light. The steps include recognizing your feelings of envy, refraining from comparing yourself to others, gaining needed clarity, challenging your feelings, choosing to make peace with the situation, using the situation as a catalyst for positive change, and paving the way forward.
This map provides a roadmap and framework for overcoming feelings of envy. Referencing it regularly and committing it to memory will help you to embed these principles into your subconscious mind.
A mind map, of course, does this beautifully because it mirrors the synaptic connections made in your brain as you try to establish new habits of thought and behavior. It brings together key concepts and ideas that help your brain to fully integrate and process this information. The brain, subsequently, rewires itself as it attempts to establish new habits of mind. It’s an ideal tool for creating lasting change and transformation.
As you progressively work through this map you will begin to take less notice of what others are doing and instead channel your energy onto your own life path and objectives. As a result, you will no longer spend time comparing yourself to others. You will instead, compare yourself to your own best efforts.
