How to Handle Jealousy

Last time I posted about the Little Green Monster, jealousy. Even if only one person in the relationship suffers from it, it can be very hard on both parties. That monster is even the cause of breakups! Jealousy is born of insecurity.

So, here's what to do...

It's all about you! If you are jealous then you need to find the good in yourself. Make a list of all the wonderful things about you and don't be modest. This list is private for you so don't hold back. Look at your list several times a day or at least revisit it mentally. Stand in the power of who you are. You are a special and unique person.

This exercise is to help you not depend on what others think about you and "know" what you think about you. Give this time to work. Everytime you begin to have feelings of insecurity or jealousy then remember your list and kick that green monster out of your head!
