Celebrate other people’s wins sincerely. It’s good practice for handling your own.

Being glad for somebody else is a skill, and like any skill it is built by use. The reason it matters is that the same muscle handles your own success: if other people’s good news feels like a subtraction, yours will arrive tangled up in comparison too. Generosity outward and ease inward turn out to be one habit. Practising on their wins is simply cheaper.

Next time somebody in your group gets the part, the grade or the offer, say something specific to them instead of just liking the post. Name what they did well. Notice whether it stung, and do it anyway.
