Envy can point to a wish you have never given a practical place.

Envy is unpleasant and unusually accurate. It tends to arrive only in the areas you actually care about, which is why you can hear about someone’s promotion with complete calm and be undone by hearing they took a month off to write. The feeling is not a character flaw so much as a signal that something you want has no room in your life. It gets louder the longer it goes unaddressed.

When it comes, note exactly which detail stung rather than pushing it away. Then ask what a very small version of that would look like in your own week.
