What triggers your envious emotions isn\u2019t going to trigger someone else. That\u2019s because as individuals we have individual soft spots. And as shocking as it may seem, <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.californiapsychics.com\/blog\/2009\/08\/get-a-grip-on-jealousy.html\/\">jealousy is rarely linked to the present situation<\/a><\/strong>\u2014you know, the one you\u2019re obsessing over like a freak! Instead, it stems from past experiences, most frequently, anger, fear and\/or humiliation.<\/p>\n<p>The good news is, if you can focus your fury on getting to the root of your feelings (rather than on replaying the fears consciously or subconsciously associated with the past) you can stop it from destroying your life!<\/p>\n<p>Here are three tips for exploring your envious urges and eradicating them once and for all!<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Ask: Who\u2019s In Control \u2013 You Or Your Ego?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For better and worse, <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.californiapsychics.com\/blog\/2009\/07\/quiz-how-big-is-your-ego.html\">we\u2019ve all got egos<\/a><\/strong>. The catch is, they\u2019re not inherent parts of our beings (like our spirits, intellects and bodies), they\u2019re created by our experiences. Thusly, when we let our egos compromise our thoughts and make our decisions, we lose track of reason and objectivity. A self-obsessed, ego-driven universe is a subjective place where jealousy is likely to arise because the tiniest perceived slight is an affront. But what if you could recognize that those offenses are in your mind? That you\u2019re actually creating the problem instead of reacting to it? That by getting to the initial cause and retraining your consciousness, you can rid yourself of this pesky problem once and for all?<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. The Key Lies In Your Formative Experiences<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Egos are born shortly after we\u2019re born, in our early experiences of the world. If you were told (literally or figuratively) that you were in some way insufficient or lacking, unworthy or unvaluable, odds are that has remained a part of your consciousness (as your ego). This is the root cause of overt jealousy. Going through life without a fully developed sense of self-worth creates fear and anger regarding your own perceived inadequacy and how you\u2019ll be treated as a result. Being cheated on\/slighted\/disregarded is both your biggest fear and what you expect to happen. As such, you wind up creating situations wherein it happens (or you project that it\u2019s happening and drive people away). The only way around this negative, jealous voice is to recognize it as the liar it is, name it (my issue with x that came from y) and remember that it\u2019s not real when it arises.<\/p>\n<h4><em>&#8220;Honor your own heart&#8217;s desire as strongly as you do others.&#8221; \u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.californiapsychics.com\/c\/c.aspx?lid=114356&amp;utm_source=blog_articles&amp;utm_medium=blog_articles&amp;utm_campaign=quote-psychic-claire-ext-5242\">Psychic Claire ext. 5242<\/a><\/em><\/h4>\n<p><strong>3. Additionally, There\u2019s A Lot To Be Said For Trust<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s frightening to put your faith in someone else. But for those with the sorts of damaged egos that lead to excessive jealous behavior, it\u2019s even scarier to trust yourself. However, the truth is, you have an innate value that goes beyond your ego\u2019s understanding. And once you learn to respect yourself\u2014truly, on a sincere and profound level\u2014you\u2019ll find your jealous feelings begin to subside. You\u2019ll also find that you\u2019re drawn to people who wouldn\u2019t dream of compromising your trust. This may have been the case all along, but now you\u2019re clear enough to see it.<\/p>\n<h4><em>\u201cBe willing to be open and ready to receive because what you are asking for is also looking for you.\u201d\u00a0\u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.californiapsychics.com\/c\/c.aspx?lid=114359&amp;utm_source=blog_articles&amp;utm_medium=blog_articles&amp;utm_campaign=quote-psychic-faith-ext-9608\">Psychic Faith ext. 9608<\/a><\/em><\/h4>\n<p><span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"font-size: 12px\"><strong><a title=\"$1 per minute \" href=\"http:\/\/www.californiapsychics.com\/c\/c.aspx?lid=113977&amp;utm_source=NC_offer_footer&amp;utm_medium=NC_offer_footer&amp;utm_campaign=new_customer_text_offer_blog_v5step1\">Exclusive offer: New customers can speak to a psychic for ONLY\u00a0$1 per minute.
