If jealousy exists in your life it is definitely distressing and troubling, draining your energy and the positive outcomes you wish to enjoy in your life and relationships. It is important to acknowledge it to be able to learn something from it, instead of denying it and allowing it to distract you from your goals.

The 2 main reasons you feel jealous

A form of jealousy is when someone else enjoys the attention you would like to get by a beloved person. If for example you are jealous of your partner, you need to determine if their commitment and devotion to you are a priority in their life. What if the jealousy you feel is a warning that you don’t have the first place in your partner’s life although you would really love to?

The second form of jealousy is when you envy some quality traits of another person at material or spiritual level regarding their relationship, family or professional life or even their looks. And of course, it is more likely that you would like to have it all too.
