Homework:
♥ Change your attitude towards jealousy.
Think of three incidents where you have felt jealous, or imagine three where you could potentially feel very jealous.
- Why would you feel that way?
- What, specifically, is it they have that you want?
- Why don’t you have it?
- Can you help that?
Now, use that jealous feeling as a tool rather than an obstacle, exploit it rather than letting it weigh down and depress you. Change your thoughts to proactive ones, ask yourself:
- How can you have what they have too?
- Or, how can you change your feelings about it to elevate yourself in spirits, regardless of whether you possess it or not?
- Can you shift your focus to another, more suitable, more attainable goal?
- Is that really what you want, or do you have higher aspirations?
Quite honestly, I don't think I'm ready to share with blogging world my petty jealousies. A lot of things I'm jealous of in people are so pointless. (That girl is prettier than I am!! The NERVE.) However, there are SOME jealous things I would rather keep to myself thankyouverymuch. I'll write them down somewhere you all can't read them and make fun of me. :)
