#3 Be prepared. How can you respond lovingly to another's storm? By planning ahead. Plan to be available, if only to listen. Plan to be a calming presence. Plan to take nothing personally when those inevitable winds lash at you. #4 Ride it out. Ah, yes. Here's tough one. Don't let someone else's storm become YOURS. We all say and do things when we're in a full-on mood hurricane, and it can get ugly. Yelling at wind won't change its direction or force, and when you're talking about mood storms, adding your own wind only makes things worse. Remember: your role is not to stop storm, get mad at it, sulk about it, or hide from it. Be present, and watch.

#5 Clean up as a team. This is definitely THE most important part of mood- watching. Once that storm has passed and emotions have settled, it's time to assess damage. Your role here is to engage your loved one in process of learning from this torrential downpour of emotion. And be clear about this--BOTH of you can learn from it. Your intention is to discover ways to deal with similar storms more skillfully in future.

#6 Enjoy sun. A common mistake we make is to dwell on mood storm long after it has passed. Here comes sun! Celebrate that, enjoy it, and don't get caught up in memory of dark clouds of yesterday.

#7 Don't worry about next storm until you see it coming. Sure, you want to keep your eye on forecast, but you don't need to stay glued to 24-hour weather channel. There's bound to be another mood storm eventually, but until then, revel in sunshine.

By sharpening your mood-watching skills, you will develop greater mindfulness and learn how to handle whatever comes your way. Your loved ones will benefit from your loving attention, and you will pick up a few tips for next time your own mood storm starts brewing.

When people exhibit these jealous rages, they are only destroying relationship they are trying to save. People use jealousy as a legitimate weapon of defense to protect what is rightfully theirs. Jealousy attempts to prevent annihilation of love, but it only helps it along. Experiencing these jealous rages will also further lower your self respect because it causes you to stoop to lowest of acts. It destroys more than just relationship. “Jealousy is invariably a one-sided, bigoted accuser, convinced of his own righteousness and meanness, cruelty and guilt of his victim”. Although jealous person wants to keep relationship intact, intentions of showing these acts of jealousy are to maliciously hurt other person. Obviously, these uncontrollable acts used to salvage relationship do not work. They only cause other person to retaliate in disgust making situation even worse.

So how do you deal with jealousy? That is big question. For insanely jealous person, best thing you can do is recognize that your jealousy may be unfounded and then open lines of communication. Instead of brooding on thoughts of infidelity, simply tell your lover how you are feeling as soon as you start feeling that way. You should have these feelings immediately put to ease when he or she calms your heart. You also need to stop trying to forcibly fuse your relationship into one being. The best relationships are created through bonding of two separate individuals. If you are dealing with a jealous person whom you want to stay with and love, then you are going to have to learn not to get drawn in to these petty jealousy arguments, do not retaliate, do not take any blame, do not let freak outs get to you when they occur and do not assume that he or she will change any time soon. To help get rid of jealous behavior you must leave all of your doors open. Meaning, you must not keep anything hidden or locked away for your love to get suspicious or distrusting over. Couples therapy, although expensive, is a viable option.
