Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

1. Phone a friend and talk to them about your jealous feelings.
   
   Thinking about spying on your boyfriend and following him on that business trip? Not a good idea. Talk to a close friend. Talking about your jealousy will help to put it into perspective and you'll prevent yourself from doing anything impulsive that you might later regret.

2. Redirect the conversation.
   
   If a friend won't stop talking about a new dress that she bought, listen for a few minutes. Then change the subject.

3. Remember what you do have and what you have to be thankful for. If that doesn't work, think about what you have that might make your friends jealous of you.
