Instructions
Step 1
Channel your jealousy in a creative direction. Is your friend slimmer, more attractive than you? Take care of yourself urgently, start going to the gym, go on a diet. Are you jealous that she has a luxurious mink coat? Think about how you can make money on it. If it doesn't work out, be glad that you have more free time for self-improvement and rest than your friend. Choose what is more important to you: free time or a cloak.
Step 2
It happens that unconscious envy is provoked by low self-esteem. In this case, pamper yourself: visit a beauty salon, get a stunning hairstyle, go shopping and buy a cute new thing. Try to do what attracts and what is interesting: start planting flowers, enroll in a theater group, learn to play the guitar.
Step 3
Take an example from people of age, learn to treat life philosophically: try to understand that you should not strive to get everything at once and in large quantities. Learn to rejoice at every pleasant trifle, insignificant event. Accept them gratefully as gifts of fate. Good weather, clear sun, a walk along the alley, waltzing leaves, laughing children - there are so many reasons for joy, for feeling the fullness of your life.
Step 4
Think about your merits, remember successes, achievements, positive, constructive moments in life. There will likely be enough of them to make others jealous. May it bring you moral satisfaction.
Step 5
Learn to root. Do not envy individual, local aspects of a person's life; pay attention to other aspects as well. And you will see how many problems there are in everyone's life. Lack of health, dysfunctional children, impossible relatives. What is the point of being jealous?
