You have to appreciate more your own success and if you need you can take others for examples for yourself.

To stop being jealous of others' success the best thing to do is just to think about where you are in your path to success. If (and only if) you work hard you will be there soon and won't need to be jealous of anyone anymore.

Focus not on what other people have but on what you have. Your family, your friends, your career and your future. Everyone is successful in different ways. Set small goals and achieve them and you will notice a great improvement in your day to day life

You can stop being jealous by really thinking of your successes. Maybe you're not having any now, that's okay. Look in the past, or plan in the future. A success can be something you really want to do, like get married, or adopt a child. Planning for future successes can help you forget abut other's successes and, in turn, will make you stop feeling jealous.

Fight any potential urges to inflict harm. Understand it is only natural to be and there are other qualities/characteristics about oneself that could trigger jealousy. Talk to someone trusted if possible.

I've found that jealousy tends to happen when I stop looking at my own personal value and start looking elsewhere. In a world full of advertisements and social media, it's hard sometimes, to focus on what matters. One thing I find myself doing when I start to feel "jealous" or envious of others is I try to take disconnect and step away from the environment that triggers my jealousy. If it's facebook, I log off or I unsubscribe myself from other people's news feeds (in extreme cases). If it's someone at work, I try to take a small holiday (if I can). It's important to step back and put my life into perspective. To focus on myself and the good qualities I have to offer others. Logging on to 7cups and the supportive online community, I find helps. I also find that it helps to talk about how I'm feeling to a trusted friend - to get the reassurance I need to know that I'm good and "successful" in my own way.
