Self-esteem is something that we mistakenly compare with self-confidence; it’s not the same. Therefore, I would just start to elaborate on what the differences between the two things are, and how it’s related with jealousy.
75 % of all jealousy is caused by low self-esteem. Therefore, it’s a thing everyone should have a good grip on, so you are able to do something about it.
The difference between low self-confidence and low self-esteem
Self-confidence is the trust you have in yourself in relation to an act or achievement.
Self-esteem is how much value you see in yourself or how much you really love yourself, and think that you’re good enough.
You probably already know it by yourself; you can feel an enormous self-confidence and self-esteem some days and other days there is not the shadow of it. Self-esteem and self-confidence can vary a lot.
What can be so damn hard about self-confidence and self-esteem is that the unconscious often determines the degree of a how high degree we feel self-confidence or self-esteem.
Reading my chapter about low self-esteem, can give you a temporary understanding and inner relief about your low self-esteem and self-confidence. But if you really want down go deeper and work with your subconscious, you should avail yourself in a hypnosis or therapy treatment. You don’t necessarily have to go to a clinic and pay a lot money for it. It can be done cheaper, with a range of products which also can be purchased online.
The best therapeutic audio book in this topic I have encountered is “Self-Confidence Hypnosis” it’s made by Richard MacKenzie, and it costs $ 24,5 – you’ll find it here :

Richard MacKenzie who’s behind the audio book, is a full time hypnotist guru. He‘s a specialist in personal development with hypnosis. You can choose to read more about him later in the book, or on his website.
I‘m personally a major consumer of it, because the audio book works like a fix against low self-esteem and poor confidence directly in your subconscious.
One of the benefits with audio books is, that they basically gives you the same as what physical hypnosis and professional therapy can give you. Because they work directly with your subconscious, and will give you long lasting and effective results. However, it can be difficult, always to be concentrated enough, so if you have trouble with concentrating, it would be easier for you if you visited a physical clinic, where you‘ll get personal coaching face to face.
A superficial thing that really can increase your confidence (and to a lesser degree of self-esteem) is to do something good for yourself. Nurture your ego, exercise, get some tan or buy some new clothes you feel comfortable in. You know best what works for you.
It’s an easy and inexpensive way to gather forces against your jealousy. It’s a short-term jealousy treatment, but still highly effective.
Think of the people who suffer from anorexia, it’s a super terrible disease. You probably know of it, but anorectics have a distorted perception of the reality about themselves. If we have been/are struggling with low self-esteem, only 10% of this distorted perception, is enough to go wrong and get low self-esteem and we unfortunately already do.
We become jealous because we don’t feel worthy enough to be treated with respect.
Therefore it is important to take a bird’s eye view and see ourself in relation to others sometimes. What I’m saying is definitely not that you should be comparing yourself with others down in small details, but in a broad sense, it can be healthy for many people.
One thing everyone should do is exercising, not only for the sake of self-confidence and self-esteem, but also for your health. If you’re already are exercising regularly, you also know how you feel afterwards: heavenly!
If you don’t do any exercise right now, then get going. Fifteen minutes of running, cycling or even walking a day is better than nothing.
What happens to many people, who start exercising on a regular basis, is that they give up because they push themselves too hard. Avoid this by starting up in small steps.
I will not challenge you more than what you can handle, but I suggest that you take one
step at a time. There are countless ways to fight jealousy; but it’s a great advantage if you have several approaches to work with.
I’m not saying that you only need to choose one alternative, but all of them! Buy the audio book about low self-esteem, buy some new clothes, jog a little bit and follow the advice you get here in the book. Luckily there are many choices, and they all work.
The more of my advice you follow, the greater the chance is for you to overcome your jealousy. I know you probably should get rid of jealousy, no matter what; it’s just a matter of time.
