Taboo Topic.... Jealousy of the "Perfect Wife, Perfect Life"

I can't complain..... I am happily married to a loving husband, have a wonderful dog, a great and supportive family, and a roof over my head! But.... I am a woman and a human, so from time to time, I struggle with a destructive curse.... jealousy.

Since we live in a world where social media controls hours of our lives, jealousy and envy has only gotten worse. I can't help but to compare myself to women my age and young married women!

You all know those few people who's lives always seem better and more perfect than yours. That fellow young married couple that is always magically trendy and fashionable that leaves you wondering... "Are they not financially struggling too?! How on earth can they afford all that dang class and style?!"

Or that rich and fabulous couple that seems to have it all.... a dream house, babies, careers, money, perfect tans and hair extensions....

Or that beautiful twenty-something, studding abroad while finding herself, writing a novel, taming wild horses, making a documentary about poverty in third-world countries, and ending up with an Italian Prince Charming (although, I did find mine *wink wink*)

It doesn't matter what it is... friends I've had since middle school who still hang out, but forgot to include me, those perfectly fit real-life Barbies, or someone with a nicer Jeep than mine.... I can't help but to find myself getting jealous all the time. So I am making a promise to myself to correct this PROBLEM asap!

But how? Luckily I found this website with a few amazing tips! Well, at least answers 5 - 8 are amazing. (Click here to see the website)

Here's a abbreviated version of their best answers;

• Learn from her
• Go to the core
• Find yourself
• Do your best

It's also important to remember how unhealthy it is to be jealous of someone. When you're jealous, you start to think negatively about yourself and your life, and when you are negative, your friends and family don't want to spend as much time with you as they used to, so you will have less than you started with.... making you feel even more jealous and negative.... and so on and so forth. 

And hey.... its in the Bible too.... so you know it's gotta be a big deal.

So I'm going to make a promise to myself and I hope you will too, to kick this nasty jealousy habit quick!

Love Always,

Scarlett
