What do you think the key to your peace of mind is? Can you put it into words? What if you were told that you need not be upset or miserable if she judges you? It’s okay if he decides to simply walk away. Why lose your precious energy if there is nothing you can do about how others behave anyway?

Do you ever complain about how dull, dreary, or simply boring your life is? Perhaps you do the same thing day in and day out while nothing exciting or inspiring ever seems to happen. Of course you scroll on social media and immediately compare your ho-hum, uneventful routine to hers.

Have you forgotten to foster gratitude for all the things that have gone right?
