Feelings of jealousy are never pleasant. Who really wants to feel unhappy, angry, or frustrated because of someone else’s relationship, promotion, achievement, or financial situation? Jealousy is often a sign that we aren’t happy or content with ourselves.  Research has even linked certain traits to greater feelings of jealousy, this includes feelings of insecurity and possessiveness.

​

It’s easy to think that we can’t help how we feel – but what if we could? What if we could challenge those ingrained gut-reactions and instinctive negative feelings, and learn to channel them into something more positive – both for ourselves, and those around us?

​

The good news is that no matter why you’re jealous, there are things you can do to help decrease these feelings. Working on yourself – your confidence, your communication skills, how you recognise and manage your emotions – can all help you to get a handle on how you’re feeling before jealousy, envy, and the inevitable sense of shame can begin affecting other areas of your life.
