Key takeaways
How jealousy is different from healthy competition and how you know when it’s becoming a problem.
Why jealousy is often a bi-product of an overactive imagination, and how you can separate the real from the imagined.
Why trying not to feel jealous doesn’t work, and how you can use the feeling as a learning opportunity instead.

But when it gets out of control, it can affect our feelings, thoughts and behaviours in powerful and damaging ways.
In this workshop, students will be guided through how to better understand their feelings and reflect on what their feelings might be telling them about themselves. Students will also go through a simple exercise to turn feelings of jealousy into a positive opportunity to set and achieve new goals. The skills learnt in this workshop can not only be applied in the classroom, but in sport as well as in peer relationships.
