3 ways to cope with retroactive jealousy

1. Breathing techniques

When we get mental movies/intrusive thoughts our body very quickly goes into fight or flight. Leading us to either shut down, or act out a compulsion to gain relief. 

Breathing can help us with this. I recommend box breathing but feel free to do your research and practise different techniques in order to see which works best to help calm you down.

2. Meditation

Meditation has been proven to be great for your mind. It helps you with becoming the observer of your thoughts, instead of someone who gets lost in them. 

It can help you take distance from the intrusive thoughts and not react however if you are stressed in other areas of your life and do not meditate consistently you may experience setbacks. 

3.Journaling 

In the youtube video: “Retroactive jealousy 3 ways to cope” I go into detail regarding 3 different ways journaling can help. Feel free to check that out on our channel. 

If you are someone that has tried all of the above and more but still find yourself struggling with retroactive jealousy, know that you are not alone. 

Some people need extra help overcoming this, coping alone is not enough. 

Retroactive jealousy often shows us what needs to be worked on, what needs to be healed in order for us to live a happy life and be in a loving, healthy relationship.
