3 energy and spiritual hacks to reduce or ideally completely overcome jealousy.
Jealousy can rear its head in many subtle and not so subtle ways. Before revealing how to overcome jealousy, let’s do a quick self analysis to see where we are so that we can see our positive progress even faster and easier. Evaluate each of the following statements from 1 to 10, 1 being the least and 10 being the most.
Signs of Jealousy: Self-Analysis
- When someone else achieves something in their life, I secretly wish that it were me and/or that they lose the success that they had.
- I place mental attention and/or worry about what a person I am going out with is doing and with whom they are doing it, when I am not with them.
- I wish I were as successful, happy, amiable, strong, beautiful, etc. as someone else.
- I either think and/or say critical things of how others look, dress, act, or behave.
Well done on completing the self analysis. By doing just this first step, you have demonstrated that you are self-aware. Knowing where one is is the best first step to determine the next steps to get to where one wants to be.
Here are the 3 hacks for how to overcome jealousy…
How To Overcome Jealousy
Get really clear about what is truly most important to you.
Turn off your cell phone, get off the internet, and ask yourself, what is the most important for your spirituality, health, enjoyment, relationships, and finances.
Now, from this initial list, ask yourself what is an absolute must for you because you resonate with it on the deepest level. Things that will get you out of bed in the morning, that excite you and that by the very nature of progressing toward the realization of them, you feel great.
Now, start doing as much as you can toward each one of these daily. By doing so, you are expanding your inward focus on becoming even better while indirectly making the world a better place. The more you pursue what fills you with passion, jealousy reduces and ideally disappears.
How To Stop Feeding Jealousy
Now that you are clear about some of the most important things to you (in hack #1), become even more cognizant about the things you are doing that are contributing toward them and those that are taking away from them.
Many of the things that feed jealousy, such as comparing ourselves with others on social media, counting likes, and so on, are recognized as feeding a feedback loop that benefits the social media company and advertisers but is taking away from our accomplishing our missions.
Use the same quick evaluation process and choose to invest more time with people, activities, and doing things that contribute to the life you desire. You may find that you have more time to relax, your enjoyment level goes up, you can think more, and incidentally prior inclinations to jealousy reduce significantly or go away.
How To Overcome Jealousy In A Relationship
Connect with a source of positive energy beyond yourself.
For example, a primary source of jealousy in relationships is one (or both) perceiving that they need the other in order to feel good about themselves. You may have even heard the statement, “I can’t live without them.”
The challenge in this dynamic is that it leads to one person worrying about what the other is thinking or doing when not in their presence. The solution is to connect with a source of positive energy beyond yourself and then share it with your partner.
Shift the dynamic from needing to one of being completely fulfilled and giving to your partner. When with the right partner, they too will shift more toward this dynamic. You now have two people who feel great giving to each other which, the more you experience it, the more you will feel it’s magic.
To do this is a skill like all other skills. Relax your body from your head to your toes. Give thanks for everything you can think of in your life in the spiritual, health, enjoyment, interpersonal and financial areas. Then send great energy to those closest to you. Extend out to those farther and farther away until you are radiating a white light of positive energy to everyone on Earth and into space. Now experience already having all you most desire in each life area. Each time you do it, add more and more details and expand your positive feelings.
And, the more you do it, the more inclinations of jealousy will reduce or even go away.
I’ve shared 3 hacks that when you do them will help you develop a very critical life skill that will positively impact all areas of your life.
The number one way to completely overcome jealousy is to have even more joy and happiness in your life and to maximize your confidence. I’ve created a free video. Just click below and gain access while it is still available.
