Let’s face it we all get jealous occasionally.
I do it; especially when I’m not living my life in the way that I really want to.
The thing is that your reaction is really nothing to do with the other person. They are simply the trigger for something that is going on in your world.
If you want to have what they have, then give yourself permission to do so. That doesn’t mean that you can’t celebrate for them too; they’ve probably put in some hard work to get those things that you also want.
Jealousy can be useful
If you’re jealous then it shows that you want something for yourself.
Start paying attention to those times that you get jealous. Is it:
Travel: seeing photos of someone on an awesome overseas holiday.
Lifestyle: your friend wearing a gorgeous dress that you wished you owned.
Business: seeing businesses that have fantastic looking websites.
Home: your friend having a beautiful home that you never want to leave.
Career: that your friend just got their dream job.
Love: your friend and her fabulous husband having their first child.
These feelings are completely natural and can be an indication that you are ready to upgrade your life in some way.
So next time you’re feeling jealous, take a moment to reflect why and get clear on what YOU want.
