Today on something you should know, why jealousy and envy aren't always a bad thing. Then the next time you get upset with someone, maybe you should treat that person the way a dog trainer treats a dog.

If you're in that situation and you're feeling enraged or frustrated, offer yourself the same kind of grace that I would give to a dog. If a dog is doing something that's just really wrong, I often like to think that dog doesn't need a correction, that dog needs help.

Also, why do you get a runny nose in cold weather even if you aren't sick? And the quirks of the English language. Like, why do we spell the word night one way and pronounce it another?

When that spelling was first devised, it did reflect the way the word was pronounced. So that word was pronounced something like niht. So the spoken language changed and now we say night. But the spelling stayed the same.

Something you should know fascinating intel the world's top experts and practical advice you can use in your life today. Something you should know with my carothers.

Hi, welcome to something you should know I want to start today by reminding you because I forget this all the time when I'm listening to other podcasts that our podcast like most podcasts have show notes that accompany every episode so that if you hear something in the episode you can get more information in the show notes.

If we have a guest who has a website or they have a book or whatever there's a link to it in the show notes also all of our advertisers are in the show notes and if they have links and promo codes that you might be interested in there all right there in the show notes.

First up today jealousy or envy may not be flattering but they're not all that bad either. Adosive envy or jealousy can actually be good for you.

According to family counselor Jennifer Coleman it's perfectly normal and can even be healthy she explains that envy or jealousy is a defense mechanism that kicks in when we feel vulnerable.

She says think of jealousy or envy as the personal trainer of your emotions motivating you to work harder for whatever you want like a better job a stronger relationship or even a smaller pant size. Of course you'll want to try to keep your green eyed monster on a leash if you're feeling jealous about something you have no control over or something that is completely unrealistic.

Remind yourself that it's a waste of emotion and try to channel your efforts towards something more attainable.

And just for the record and your English teacher jealousy and envy are not the same thing jealousy is about people envy is about things so you can't technically feel jealous because someone has a nicer car that's envy but if someone is dating your ex that's jealousy and that is something you should know.

Have you ever watched a really good dog trainer and a really well trained dog run through their paces and thought to yourself wouldn't it be great if you could train people that way.
