Can you say with 100% confidence that you haven’t felt jealous ever?

To be honest I can’t help being jealous of my next-door neighbor who goes for trips in every 2months; that friend who just bought a Range Rover; even my best-friend who is having flings every other day.

But do I cry or let my jealousy sink me into ocean of tears? Definitely not, find out what I would do by end of this blog.

If you are someone who is suffering from a jealousy syndrome or living with peers who’s actions speak of jealous emotions then this is for you.

Jealous people are our haters – I would be surprised if you think otherwise!

But if you do, kudos your half way towards understanding this emotion well. It’s a common misunderstanding that we have about jealous people. They are not our haters but the person who admires all that we have & can’t stand by it because it lacks in their life.

The newer expression of jealousy that have got acceptance is “Envy”. Famous people have said that envy is a normal emotion for humans, but envy is an issue emotion you must work through.

While there is nothing alien about being jealous. Jealousy happens for the best of us, however I need to admit it’s a tough emotion to handle.

Let’s gain a different perspective of “Jealousy”

• You are not jealous of the person always its either their actions or their materialistic possessions that is bothering you
• Every second you are comparing yourself to the person you are jealous of
• You know that person is better than you
• You are not confident about yourself
• You have your own insecurities
• You are not happy with what you have
• You are expecting too much
• You may be an attention seeker
• Fear of Missing Out (FOMO)

The conscious mind knows just one term “jealous” but the mechanism involves lot of other factors that leads us to this conclusion.

To tame down your jealousy you need to ride up on your self-confidence. Too much comparison & jealous attitude effects relations & creates a negative world of thought for yourself.

 

Below are the basic troubleshooters for this emotion

• Spot when you are reacting out of jealousy
• Be grateful for what you have
• Understand the importance of not comparing yourself to other people
• Find your goals
• Question your feelings and work towards yourself until the feeling vanishes
• Realize what’s missing in your life

Jealousy is a result of your wishes, it purely originates from your wants that someone already has.

When you are truly happy with yourself, you will have only happiness on fortune of others.

If you know someone personally who is suffering from insecurities, always comparing and being a jealous soul. Extend your hand for help, talk about it, give your support, set the boundaries, preach mindfulness and to focus on self-development.

To have a closure with jealousy: you can turn it off.

Being jealous doesn’t express care but it amplifies and broadcast our insecurities. Let go—of jealousy!
