HOW TO: control your excessive jealousy?

Jealousy can be a harmful characteristic if not controlled. Jealousy cannot disappear because of the emotions within you. However, if it comes with bitterness and selfish ambitions, it is demonic. Jealousy is not a bad facet of human nature because surely, if something or someone is dear to you, you desire to protect to it. Accordingly, living creatures by nature are territorial and because of this fact, it is normal for jealousy to exist. The issue lies is when it is accompanied by bitterness and hate.

As stated, if jealousy is accompanied by bitterness and selfish ambitions, it can become detrimental even resulting in fatality.

Below are 4 POWERFUL means to control jealousy:

Be confident in who you are! Know who you are and understand that we are all a part of a bigger purpose and so we are all important in this journey called life. We need each other and with that in mind, have confidence in yourself that you are important as anyone else and you deserve to be treated equal with everyone else.

Affirmations. Remind yourself every chance you get that you are loved, you are not a mistake, you are blessed and you deserve to be treated accordingly. Use your mouth to speak your destiny into existence. Tell yourself that you are worthy and mean it. Yes, look yourself in the mirror ladies and gentlemen and remind yourself that you are worth it!

Let go of what you can’t control! You are not God and because of this known fact, you have no right to control another person or envy of what they have, how they look and ultimately the life they live. Everyone was sent to run the race of life in their own lane. Focus therefore on the finish-line in your own lane and understand that what is for someone else can NEVER be for you!

Love. Love is not necessarily something you feel. It is a conscious decision that you make every day of your life. Give to others and mean it. God didn’t ask you to love, He instructed to do so because of the power it unleashes when you do.
