Take it out into the garden, tie some dry wood under the lower half of it, set it on fire and burn it up with flames.
Seriously, if we concentrate on wanting to get rid of a feeling or belief we are actually giving it energy. It is more effective to concentrate on actively building up the opposite good quality.
What that is for your jealousy depends on you individually, and on what it is you are jealous of. If for example you are a bloke and you are jealous of another bloke's skill at pulling the birds you fancy, part of your progress may come from developing your own skill. You could choose to CONSCIOUSLY shift from the role of rival to one of learner. You can reinterpret yourself from loser to beginner. You then observe his skill, and also that of others, from the perspective of wanting to imitate it. When you do try to imitate it, at first you'll make more boobs than you caress but if your eyes and mind open out to the cues women give, you'll become progressively less clumsy and more skilful.
Another aspect where you can start to change may be your beliefs. Again, depending on what's true for you at present. In my mind, I know that we humans are all here to help one another. No-one's success can be at my expense because success is not a zero-sum game. For any goal that's of worth, everyone can be a winner. (Yes, I'm not running for President. I said "of worth".)

Jealousy is envy of love. If left unchecked it can lead you to commit a crime which can ruin the rest of your life.
If you feel your love does not reciprocate your feelings or has a 'roving eye' then you might be with the wrong person.
It might be you have an unreasonably high expectation from the other person, something he or she cannot live up to.
Take a step back and use your intellect to figure this out rather than be governed by your emotions.
The outcome could affect your whole life and that is something better not be left to the vagaries of our whims.

Simply recognise your jealousy when it comes over you. Reflect on how jealousy and fear are closely related. Then it's a matter of getting rid of fear.

jealousy is normal to a certain extent. Over jealous behavior may be an indicator of a low self-esteem.
