Some jealousy is healthy. But when it becomes unhealthy you have to try and see the good in yourself. List one new thing you like about yourself every week. When you add a new one read the whole list.

What makes you feel jealous and insecure? How often do you feel this way? I understand it is a natural phenomena and everybody goes through it . you can let me know more about how you feel and we can see how we can make things better.

I don't think I personally could ever just "stop" being jealous and insecure. I've always been insecure about how I look, am I nice enough, am I smart enough etc., it just happens to be my personality to always worry and compare. I've found as I grow older though, I realize a lot of my insecurities fade away, if not a little at a time. Maybe it's more perspective as I get older, I'm not sure. What I do know though, is as I feel insecure, I try to remind myself that everyone has something they're insecure about. No one is perfect. The thing though, is I may be imperfectly perfect for someone else out there. When I see someone that I start to compare myself too thinking that they are "better" than me, I remind myself of the qualities that I do possess that make me feel confident and know that everyone has a battle to fight, we just might not see it.

We're only humans, so it only natural for us to feel this way sometimes. If you want to stop being jealous and insecure then you have to start by loving yourself. It's as simple as that. Don't try to be perfect. Nobody will ever be perfect. Just be true to who you are and love yourself as is. Accept who you are.

Jealousy is normally related to how you perceive yourself. If a person loves himself/herself, it is less likely to feel this emotion because you know that your are worth somthing and another woman/man are different people who are also great. Do you compare yoruself to other people? Insecurity could be related to being afraid of making mistakes, we all make mistakes :)

From personal experience, I realised that I needed to build on my self worth and self confidence to overcome insecurity and jealousy, I still feel it today but it doesn't get to me now. To do this I wrote down my thoughts related to my fears, insecurities and jealousy, then I wrote evidence to support and go against my unhelpful thoughts to see that I was being irrational. I also wrote positive affirmations and recited them twice daily. Hope this helps :)

Jealousy and insecurities go hand in hand, and are a huge obstacle to our personal happiness and self worth. There is no simple answer to overcoming jealousy. I think it is a long personal journey to realizing how toxic and detrimental jealously is to our mental health. We have to realize that there will always be someone who has more than us. Whether it is money, popularity, good looks, success, intelligence. The moment we stop comparing ourselves to others, and start measuring our self worth by our own personal growth and success, is the moment we stop letting jealousy control us. Someone else's success is NOT your failure. What someone has does not take away from what you have. Someone else's beauty does not make you any less attractive. Start trying to become better than the person you were yesterday, not better than someone else. This is vain and shallow. There will always be someone ahead of you or behind you. If you worry about being where someone else is or having what they have, you'll never be satisfied. Worry about bettering yourself and your own mental health. Envy is evil, it will always hurt you. You deserve to be content with what you are and what you are becoming. Please, think about that.
