Jealousy - The Green Eyed Monster
Family and culture makes you embrace some parts of your Self, while completely abandoning others. This happens when a child idealizes his/her/they’re parents and follows arbitrary rules for survival. These rules implicitly embed the child with the unconscious idea that she/he/they’re "bad"—which is a typical childhood experience. Then the rules and unconscious beliefs you learned as a child evolve and are carried into adulthood.
Here is a list of some unconscious beliefs:
Nobody can be trusted
I’m always wrong
I am not good at trusting others
I am helpless
The world wants to harm me
I’ve always been a step behind
Everyone is ungrateful
By performing in-depth shadow work for jealousy, you can self-reflect and determine which of these unconscious beliefs you may be living out.
What makes you jealous?
Why do you think these people or circumstances make you feel that way?
What does it tell you about your own needs?
Are these things you can work towards or something you should let go of?
