  1. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ "The point of emotional regulation is not to win every single time... It's to have mastery over your emotional reactions and be WELL" ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I can't get over how powerful these words are! Anyone dealing with jealousy should meditate and examine these words carefully. Put these words on your refrigerator or mirror. I dealt with a lot of regret from past relationships because of my jealousy. I constantly self-sabotaged relationships. I have never been violent or abusive with words, but i would let my anxiety ruin happy moments. I remember walking around Charleston, SC with my girlfriend on Valentine's weekend. We had been having a blast. A lot of great food and laughing a lot. Just enjoying the town and being around each other. She had taken some pictures of a lot of little things as we wondered around (Charleston is a beautiful city if you haven't been). At some point, i said "why haven't you wanted to stop and take a picture of us?". I could have just asked to take a picture. It would have been a simple suggestion and she GLADLY would have done it, but in my awkward jealousy and anxiety, i blurted out something silly at an otherwise delightful and innocent moment. I was literally being jealous of old buildings. And we were having so much fun. I constantly let myself ruin happy moments with little things like that. Things that i would instantly regret. Things that were rarely even a "threat to our relationship". I just loved her and i was so worried about losing her (to no one in particular, just to my own insecurities and fears of abandonment). I wish i had your videos back then. These are powerful and simple tips that you share. I hope others listen before they destroy something they love little by little. Jealousy isn't always about "big fights". Sometimes it can just be little comments that rob the joy from situations before they happen. Later that night, we had a fancy dinner planned (literally weeks in advance) at this amazing spot. As we were waiting for our reservation outside of the restaurant she said, "we should take a picture". I still look back at that picture sometimes and i can see it in her eyes. She looks amazing. She always had the most beautiful smile and it was a genuinely happy smile, but you could see my words of jealousy in her eyes. I could see her thinking, "this was the place i was hoping to take a picture together all day long, but now it doesn't feel as special". Treasure the people you care about. Do everything it takes to maintain peace. Think the best about someone you love. The thing you do to keep from losing someone is often the thing that will lead to you losing them. Thanks again Ana! I wasn't able to hear these words when i needed them, but i do draw some comfort knowing that they will help others ❤
