You saw someone else's work and felt something that was not quite admiration. Before you scroll past it and feel bad about yourself, this extracts what the jealousy is actually pointing at: whether it is the work, the opportunity, the process, or the recognition, and what that tells you about what you have been avoiding wanting.

4. Suggesting one small action they could take this week that moves toward what they actually want
