Do you sometimes wish that you had what they have, and not just their looks but also their lifestyle, success, etc.? Well then my friend, it seems like you might be suffering from a case of jealousy.

Don’t worry; it’s something that we all go through at some point in our lives. It just means that there is something out there which we desire greatly but do not possess ourselves. And trust me when I say this – recognizing and acknowledging this fact is the first step towards getting over it once and for all.

So without further ado, let us take a look at some of the signs which will help us determine whether or not we are jealous beings:

How to Battle Jealousy?

No need to worry folks! Following four easy steps helps you feel great again without any envy:

Step 1: Acknowledge your feelings

The first step is admitting how you truly feel as pretending always ends up eating us from inside.

Step 2: Recognize why

We often find ourselves looking at someone else while bumping into jealousy – this may happen because we base our lives on comparisons: “Why can’t I have what they are having?” or “How come he/she has everything.” It’s okay to look at other people around and get inspired by them, however, it becomes toxic when natural inspiration turns into deep resentment rooted through comparisons.

Step 3 : Cut ties with Toxicity

Stay away from anyone who makes fun of your insecurities and belittles you – most likely those people will be the root cause of your envy towards others.

Step 4 : Focus on Self-improvements

Shift focus onto personal goals rather than constantly monitoring where one stands compared amongst friends/family/colleagues.
