Jealousy. Have you ever been walking down the street and
noticed that it seems like everyone you see is either pregnant or pushing a
stroller? Have you ever been to a baby shower and wished that it was for you,
whom the baby shower was being thrown for? Have you been listening to a group
of women complain about labor or their children and think that you would trade
everything you had to be in there position?
Even if you haven’t had those exact thoughts, every woman
who has dealt with infertility at some point has been jealous of another who
has what we want. Jealousy is a natural emotion and it comes with really feelings.
The problem is that if it is not kept with bounds it can turn into a green eyed
monster of jealousy. It can become all-consuming and destroy the soul if
allowed to.
The key with dealing with jealousy is to keep it in check. If
you feel like you are judging others more or that you are wishing you were in their
shoes quite often, that’s the time where you need to take a step back and
reflect on your life. Gratitude is the key to combating jealousy. By truly
being grateful for the things that you do have it can help keep the green eyed
monster at bay. It is not always worth it but we are all very blessed and our blessing
are each very unique.
