Unlock abundance by rooting for others first

When you see a neighbor’s yard in full bloom while your own garden is struggling, it’s easy to feel envy prick at your heart. But envy is just a mirror showing you the life you secretly crave. Instead of retreating into jealousy, imagine yourself as a gardener learning. You step outside and say, “I genuinely want your garden to flourish.” You picture sunlit petals and humming bees. That shift from coveting to celebrating transforms your energy. Now you’re vibrating at the frequency of gratitude. Those blessed vibrations are like fertile soil that invites abundance to sprout in your own backyard. Science backs this up—practicing altruistic joy boosts oxytocin and dopamine, lowering cortisol and improving social connection. Your nervous system relaxes, and you become an energetic magnet for prosperity. When you root for others first, you disrupt scarcity thinking. You open channels for new ideas, new relationships, and yes, new gardens of your own.

Choose someone who already has what you want and genuinely bless their success in your mind and on paper. Feel the joy in their story as if it were your own. Then, whenever envy surfaces, replay that blessing. This simple give-to-get ritual shifts your vibration from scarcity to abundance. Try it tomorrow when you notice envy rising.
