Jealousy is Your Problem. Not Theirs.

Yesterday, I had someone reach out to me on Instagram to ask if I have any videos about jealousy in relationships. I have over 1,200 videos on my YouTube channel, so I’m sure I have some videos on jealousy, but I like connecting with people and having one-on-one discussions. I make it a goal to have at least one conversation with someone from my audience each day, and we had a good conversation about jealousy, and I thought it’d also be great to discuss with everyone because it’s something all of us can relate to. What we’ll discover by the end of this is that jealousy is our problem and not our partner’s.

Stop Living in Fear

The first thing we need to realize is that jealousy is rooted in fear. Hell, if we’re being honest, 99.9% of our mental health problems are fear-based. Think about it for a second. Just take a few seconds to think about every problem you’re facing and acknowledge that there’s a fear attached to it.

The reason this is so important is because we think we have an endless amount of problems, and that can be overwhelming. Once we acknowledge that most of these challenges we’re facing have to do with fear, we don’t have to deal with all of these separate problems, we just have to start dealing with our fear.
