Overcoming Jealousy through Self Love

Image

Jealousy is a common human emotion created within ego.  As I have been suffering from this negative emotion all my life, I begin to understand the underlying cause for this jealousy.  It is the lack of self worth and feeling unworthy of love.  We all have some level of lack of self esteem, but I feel that my childhood trauma resulted in my extreme low self esteem no matter how much I accomplish in my life.

This jealousy arises like a tidal wave when my painbody is triggered. Recently, I went through several bouts of my painbody being triggered.  The emotional pain was so intolerable that I had to run away from this pain. When I am truly honest with myself, I realize that this emotional pain triggered in my painbody is old, old karmic pain that is stored in a very deep layer within my painbody.   I believe that my jealousy stems from many lifetimes of feeling inadequate, unworthy of love, and not good enough.

As I begin to explore these emotional pains, I begin to learn to love myself, and accept myself for who I am.  Be okay with who I am now, even if I feel jealousy, and forgive myself for feeling this way.  When we learn to love ourselves even with our flaws, we don’t wait for others to accept our flaws as it no longer matter.  It is we who matter what we think about ourselves that determines our self worth.  Once we reach this place, it really doesn’t matter what the world thinks about us.

  1. Hi Brooke, I just discovered your blog for the first time yesterday while doing a web search. I have to thank you for sharing your thoughts online because so much of what you say resonates very deeply with me. I feel that you are speaking a spiritual language that I have only started to understand in the past year or so. Although not all of the circumstances of our lives are the same, I was stunned by how many of the details are similar as I read through many of the entries on your blog. Thank you for your bravery in expressing the difficult happenings in the course of your life, as well as in describing your approach to facing these troubled areas. I so admire your ability to “put it all out there” in your efforts to learn and grow spiritually. I am on the same path as you, although you are ahead of me on this road. Because of my shame, I have felt that I need to keep my struggles to myself as I am being spiritually guided to learn different approaches in the efforts to heal my pain. But then I read your blog. I am not alone after all. You are on this path, and so are many others. Thank you for creating a place where we can be supportive of each other. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

    Yes, you’re so right about forgiving yourself now, even though you still have feelings of jealousy. It takes how long it takes to get through all of the layers of hurt.

  3. Of all the negative emotions jealousy is clearly the most dangerous – every other negative emotion has a cause – we know how to guard against people by not arousing their anger, hatred, distrust, dislike, etc because we know that there is a specific cause of which we are the origin but insidious jealousy has no apparent cause which we may have been the cause of – we did nothing at all – but it arises as a force which is hidden and powerful and about which we may have no clue – and so the most dangerous – we did nothing at all but thatother who was jealous reacted as if we did!! – thanks for the idea – nice post
