As Relationship Coaches, we know that
jealousy can be a problem
for many people. Whether it's a nagging feeling that is buried inside
a person or it's very obvious acting out with anger or rage, jealousy
is an issue that you simply have to deal with in order to have a healthy,
happy relationship.
Because many people seem to live
with these feelings,
we wanted to
give relationship advice
that can help
overcome jealousy and create
great relationships.
Jealousy can show up in your
life
about other people's things, their
success,
their beauty, their money, their athletic prowess, their
relationship,
their
kids, or their education. It can, of course, show
up intensely with a partner in many different ways and people of
any socio-economic class can experience it.
Jealousy can
be a small twinge in your stomach that nags at you
every now and then or it can be an all-encompassing feeling that
over-shadows everything in your relationship and destroys
your
life and your relationships. In its extreme, it can lead to separation,
divorce and certainly a
relationship breakup.
If you are experiencing any of these ways that hold you back from
having a relationship that you want, here are some ways to help
you to heal jealousy in your life:
1. Find out whether you are making up untrue
stories about
what
happens to trigger your jealousy. The stories you tell
yourself may
be completely fabricated from what happened
in your past or there
may be some truth to what you are
telling yourself. Whatever the
case, find out what's actually happening and what isn't.
2. Get in touch with what you are feeling. Stop what you
are doing
when those jealous feelings come up and just sit and allow them
to surface without judging them. Whether there is any truth
to what
you are feeling or not, allow your feelings to be there.
If you sit long
enough with jealousy, you'll probably find that
underneath is anger
and/or fear. When you can address either
anger or fear in your life,
you will be on your way to healing.
3. Have the courage to address what's happening in your life. If there
is truth to what you fear
is happening, then
formulate a plan to hit the
problem with
honesty. Quit
guessing and have the courage to find out.
If
there isn't
any truth to your fears, then bring yourself into the
present
moment each time those fears come up. Remind yourself
that you are
only making up untrue stories.
If the actions that you fear are actually happening, then
you may need
to decide if want to continue in this situation
if your partner refuses to
change his/her behavior.
If you know that you are making up stories that are untrue
about what
you are feeling, then you can decide to change
what you believe.
What we've discovered is that jealousy is a wake-up call and call
to action to begin taking charge of your life instead of letting life
simply happen to you.
When it comes to overcoming jealousy, no matter how it
shows up in
your life, it doesn't go away until you deal with
the issues straight on,
make changes in your life and keep
moving toward healing, no matter
what. You can't point
your finger outward
at others. You have to be
committed
to changing yourself.
If you have this problem, know that many people, like you,
have healed
and eliminated it from their lives and so can you.
