Help with Jealousy - How to Overcome Jealousy
Jealousy is an emotion of fear of losing someone you love or care about to someone else. It is an unpleasant feeling because it comprises of doubt, distrust and suspicion of betrayal.
There are several possible causes of jealousy. Having been betrayed and left with a severe broken heart is one of the reasons. Being in a relationship with a partner who won't stop talking about his ex lover can cause uncertainty. Being married to a partner with roving eyes or have a history of flings and affairs can make you feel insecure and fearful. Thinking that you are incomplete, unpretty or aren't good enough is another reason for being jealous.
Jealousy may cause you to become possessive and domineering. It will suffocate the relationship and lead to suspicions and arguments which may finally result in a break up or divorce. And extreme jealousy can lead to losing self control and judgment.
Give yourself time to really think through and assess your fear. Has this feeling of being jealous happened in your previous relationship? Maybe, a bad experience resulted in your present thinking. If it is, you must change your thoughts and beliefs.
How are you seeing yourself? Do you picture yourself as a person who is imperfect and unattractive? Do you see that other people are better looking than you? That picture must change. If you do not love your body, who would?
With modern technology, fitness centers and products available, you can change the way you look. A change in your wardrobe would help too. But the most important thing to do is to change that image in your mind. Not the one you see in the mirror.
As long as you feel unworthy, inadequate and incomplete, you will continue to feel insecure. You must acknowledge your own self worth and believe in your strengths and abilities.
Overcome your inferiority by releasing your past hurt, disappointments, and feeling of abandonment. You can rebuild it one day at a time by taking one action and then another. Positive affirmations and visualization are tools that you can use to improve your self esteem.
