Often in life we lack mental clarity. When a series of inputs come to us about a particular situation, we tend to make decisions based on the emotions that we are experiencing right then. Cognitive distortions make it worse. Below are the 3 things I tend to follow when things are not going my way:

2. Replace the feeling of jealousy with love and/or respect:
