I’ve read the self-help books, I’ve had the advice of friends. I could tell you to go into another room, take a walk to cool down, I could say hold it inside and use a fake smile, tell yourself first thing in the morning to be nice…etc. I tried all that. It fixed the symptoms for awhile, but none of it worked in the long term. What it comes down to is self-power. Whose gonna rule – you or the jealousy? Who do you want to rule? You have to grab that jealousy by the throat and strangle it – with your own two hands. Once you gain mastery of it – once its your slave – everything else falls into place. It becomes much easier to regulate and use, for healthy uses. After you have muzzled your jealousy, than its the time to ask those close to you for advice. They know ya better, and usually know what will work best for you.
