Tired of Social Media Envy? Try This Buddhist Practice for Real Joy | Sunday Scaries by Headspace
Do you ever scroll through social media and feel that subtle sting of envy? When you see someone lounging on a beach, buying a new car, or celebrating success, it’s easy to think: Why not me? In this episode of Sunday Scaries, Dora explores a powerful Buddhist concept called mudita, or empathetic joy — the ability to feel happiness for others’ happiness. It’s the antidote to comparison, jealousy, and the quiet discontent social media often stirs in us. Through a simple 8-minute guided reflection, you’ll learn how to recognize envy, and then shift your attention by focusing on a person who brings you happiness. By tapping into and celebrating others’ joy, we expand our own. This isn’t about pretending or forcing positivity — it’s about rediscovering a deeper kind of happiness that doesn’t depend on what we have, but on how we connect.
