How to stop myself being so insecure!

I've always been insecure and a bit jealous with friends and exes and I hate that aspect of my personality. Ive generally succeeded in improving on it and I wouldn't consider myself to be jealous or insecure with my husband at all and I've built a small network of friends who I trust. We moved to a new area a couple of years ago and I've worked hard to build local family friends in the area. I make a lot of effort arranging to meet people, texting, generally trying to be thoughtful and fun as a friend.

I've recently had two parties for local friends (one of which was a kids party) and two of my friends hit it off at the parties and are now hanging out separately. Their husbands are spending time together too.

I am fully aware that this is something I should be celebrating but I can't stop the voice in my head that says what if they like each other more than me, or they hang out without me lots, or they cut me out?

Has anyone successfully managed to move on from feelings like this? If so, how?
