1- I look at them and feel a prick of resentment because ___________.
This is the deep-down reason behind that prick; it's one you may not realize or acknowledge.
2- I tell myself, "I resent them because ________. "
This is your own conscious explanation for the prick; it's the story you tell yourself that may not match up with reality. It's what you want to believe.
3-I (accurately) believe that they have ________, which I want.
This is the characteristic/trait, life circumstance, or object you see when you look at them--and they do indeed have it.
4- I (mistakenly) believe that they have __________, which I want
This is the characteristic/trait, life circumstance, or object you see when you look at them---but they don't really have it, not in the form you believe they do. Your vision is skewed by your own desire to posses those traits or things.
5- I don't realize that they suffer ___________ because of the thing they have that I do not.
This is the problem they suffer because they have the characteristic/trait, life circumstance or object in position #3.

This is the enviable characteristic/trait, life circumstance or object YOU already have.
8-I can (do) ____________ to tap into a constructive energy that keeps me from feeling envy.
