3 Steps to Free Yourself From the Valentines Day Blues

For many of us, Valentines Day is the most depressing day of the year. It's a day to replay all of the things that are not right in our world. It's a day of mourning as we wallow in the misery of what's missing in our lives. Some of us expect that our commiserating with other 'suffering' girlfriends (or guy-friends) will make us feel better, when in actuality, it takes the misery up a notch. Let's face it, we all have expectations of V-Day. We either expect to be surprised and excited or we expect to be let down.

I have a few questions for you. Do you believe that you learned anything from your 'painful' past? If given another opportunity do you think you could make wiser choices? Of course you could. So, I want to offer you an opportunity and YOU get to choose. You can either be a victim of your past or you can beThe Victor of your future.

Step 1 - Have Faith in NEW Possibilities.

One of the things that keeps the pain in the forefront of your life is focusing on it. When you look back, are you remembering and reliving the moments of defeat in your life?

Sweetie, you've got to know that as long as there is breath in your body, your best days are ahead of you. You've got to trust that whatever your experiences have been, they bring with them WISDOM; even if the wisdom is in knowing what NOT to do.

So, knowing what you know now and what you've learned through those painful experiences, you are now more equipped to CREATE a better future, build new memories and nurture those gifts within you that you've allowed to lie dormant.

It's time to stop replaying your past and start pre-playing your future. It's time to change your focus. Instead of looking back let us all look forward towards our Victory.

So, what is it that you need to have Victory over? What needs to change in your life? What boundaries do you need to create to support your quest for Victory? How can you fortify yourself in preparation for your new life?

Own your future today by taking responsibility for the choices that you have made in your life. Then realize that TODAY you get to make a new choice. You are NOT a victim anymore!

Step 2 - Hold On to HOPE

Did You Know that on average, most men release between 50 to 500 million sperm with each emission. Do you realize that your existence, the fact that you are able to read this letter, is evidence that YOU are the manifestation of a miracle? You were the one out of 500 million that WON the race! Have you ever wondered WHY?

Everything that God created was designed to serve a purpose. There's a purpose for the seasons, there's a purpose for natural laws like gravity and there's a purpose for YOU!

It's time to acknowledge that you were created to serve a unique purpose; to complete a particular set of tasks. You see, only YOU have had your experiences, only YOU possess your TAGS(TM) [Talents, Abilities, Gifts and Skills]. Only you have been equipped to complete Your Assignment. Do you know what your assignment is? It's time to take your focus off of the 'lack' in your life and redirect your focus towards your purpose. Embrace the possibilities.

Step 3 - Learn to RECEIVE LOVE FULLY

Know that YOU are LOVED, first and foremost, by God. Even though you've experienced a painful past, even though 'bad' things have happened in your world, God DOES LOVE YOU! Being able to fully receive God's love will transform every area of your life.

Learn to be loving towards yourself, patient with yourself, compassionate with yourself and forgiving of yourself.

No more being critical or judgmental towards yourself. No more looking back in regret, sadness, bitterness, resentment or un-forgiveness. No more replaying the painful experiences in your life and never learning the lessons from those experiences. No more blaming others for what's missing in your world. No more excuses for what didn't happen or for what did.

It's a New Day! Today is Day 1 - Victory Day. It's the day you learned to look forward. Today you are one V-day closer to wholeness, one V-Day closer to Peace, and one Victory Day closer to living the life of your dreams. So, let's see what you could create for yourself and your life between now and Victory Day next year. Celebrate YOU today, because this V-Day...YOU WIN!!!

Hugz,

One last thing...Imagine

The one gift from God that we most take for granted is our imagination. Begin to use your imagination to build visual images of what you want to be/do/have in your life. Remember, what you think about...you bring about. It's the Law of Attraction: the infamous SECRET to living the life you've always dreamed of. Keep hoping, keep loving and keep believing in the possibilities of tomorrow.

1 Corinthians 13:13

And so faith, hope, love abide [faith--conviction and belief respecting man's relation to God and divine things; hope--joyful and confident expectation of eternal salvation; love--true affection for God and man, growing out of God's love for and in us], these three; but the greatest of these is love.

Deuteronomy 23:5 (New International Version)

⁵ However, the LORD your God would not listen to Balaam but turned the curse into a blessing for you, because the LORD your God loves you.

Ephesians 3:17-21 (New Living Translation)

¹⁷ Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. ¹⁸ And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. ¹⁹ May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.
