Is jealousy driving a wedge between you and your partner, your friends, your family? It doesn't have to. You can stop jealous behavior. If you're jealous, pay attention to Dr. Phil McGraw's advice.
You may say that you trust your partner, but remember, actions speak louder than words. If you care for somebody and are jealous, you're not showing them love.
Jealousy is a form of fear. You may fear abandonment or even success. Letting go of jealousy is easier when you allow yourself to stop worrying.
Trust in others is a measure of the trust you have in yourself. If you don't trust yourself, you'll have trouble believing in others.
Acting jealous is similar to picking up soap in the shower. The harder you squeeze it, the more slippery it becomes. When you relax your hands, you can pick up the soap. Likewise, you can "squeeze" your partner away. Release your jealousy, and your partner will feel less pressured.
Ask yourself, "What's my payoff for being jealous? Is the payoff worth the sacrifice?" Jealous people are often looking for power, and jealousy is a way to command and control another person.
Do you know what you want that you don't have? Stop resenting what others have, and get what you want. Set goals and make a plan to reach them.
