NO, Jess - you can't just magically steal someone else's powers and have them for yourself, no matter how much you whine about it... ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌

When you were growing up, was there ever a kid in your class that you were just insanely jealous of?

Maybe she had the best hair. Or the best grades. Or a TV *with a VCR* in her bedroom, because her parents were cool like that and this was long before the age of worrying that "screen time" would mess up your kid.

Whatever the reason for your jealousy, you were never alone. 

And now, as a full grown human, you're still not alone. Especially since you're a creative human - which means you are constantly comparing yourself with other people who make stuff.

You're not just comparing yourself with everyone else. NoOoOoo.. that would be too easy. 

You're also comparing your work. You're looking at finished books on shelves and comparing them to your first drafts. You're comparing book deals and covers and how much time you have to create versus how much time they do. 

I'm no stranger to this feeling, and because I am obsessed with turning everything into a tool for world domination and self improvement, I wanted to help.

Behold! 

My 9-Step Guide to Creative Jealousy! 👇🏼

Why wallow in useless jealousy when you can make jealousy work for you?

This nine-step process is something you can take every time you feel jealous of someone. It's simple, easy, and (best of all)... printable! Just click the image to download your copy, so you can stick it on your fridge or in your office.

Give me some JEALOUSY!

Or if you prefer some facetime...

(A Live Replay!)

Want to get REALLY into this jealousy thing? This past Wednesday on IG Live, I spilled the tea on my own trials with jealousy -- naming some names, owning some weaknesses, and more. It's about a half hour long, so grab yourself a coffee and throw this on in the background on your break today!

Cool Stuff from my Open Tabs

  • I've been re-reading this book, and enjoying it. Not quite sure how to implement massive changes like this given my career choice, but it's a start!
  • Incredible sculptures here!
  • It's a paper plants extravaganza!
  • Nothing like a mild gunpowder explosion to wake a girl up.
  • The power of smiling. This is a nice one to save for when you hit the midday wall.

Take care, buddy! See you next week!
