It’s that time of year…<\/h2>\n

Well, it\u2019s that time of the year again. You know, time to pull out the real scarfs, time to brace yourself for those hefty gas bills and time for a little jingle bells, jingle bells, but it\u2019s also a great time to begin to look forward to the New Year that\u2019s literally, days away?!<\/p>\n

Maybe, the thought of another New Year is exciting for you, which is fantastic, but I\u2019m finding, that for some women, there\u2019s nothing \u201cnew\u201d about this New Year or the one before last. Yes, the champagne was popped and the calendars changed, but when all the confetti cleared away, too many women are left stuck, waiting for the past to show up differently.<\/p>\n

\"Heart,<\/p>\n

What do I mean by waiting for the past to show up differently?<\/h2>\n

First, let me say this, I know what it’s like to be in a holding pattern. Yes, you’re paying bills, you’re aging, but deep within, you’re at a stand still \u2013 I was waiting for \u201cthe guy\u201d to show up better than he did before, for more years than I care to mention. In my mind, I was like, \u201cI know he\u2019s got it in him to come at me better than he did before,\u201d but nope, that knock never came to my door.<\/p>\n

How about if you\u2019ve suffered a different kind of loss? The devastation of losing that person, position or promise for whatever reason can be traumatic and it can cause immense grief, so much so, that you just don\u2019t quite do life the way you use to.<\/p>\n

I know, this isn\u2019t the warm and fuzzy holiday blog post or the gurl-l-l get your future and finances fab for the New Year, but I do think it\u2019s a timely message.<\/p>\n

See, just before the New Year is a great time to #GetEngaged with one\u2019s heart, which can positively impact one\u2019s mind, soul and life. Think about it, who really wants to be stuck? No one signs up to be emotionally cemented to the past \u00a0\u2013 yet, the heart is so tricky and powerful, it can store the remnants of people, places and things that we hold dear. That’s why what you allow in your heart matters deeply. You may\u2019ve heard, \u201cGuard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.\u201d (Prov. 4:23, NLT)<\/a>. Well, how has this Scriptural truth showed up in your life?<\/p>\n

Are you still waiting for someone or something to show up differently? I know, for me, it took serious truth, ah–work, but I finally began to recognize myself, my value and my purpose, and eventually, I got freed up to wait no longer! So, I encourage you to stop and ask yourself: Am I waiting for the past to show up differently?<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you think, you might be stuck in a holding pattern too\u2026<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here\u2019s 3 Amazingly Practical Ways to Get Unstuck:<\/h2>\n

1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Do your best to stop talking about the person, place or thing as if nothing has changed. What you speak matters. If you desire to move forward, then speak forward.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Do the internal work (prayer, counseling, journaling, etc.) to assess why you got stuck in the first place. Why? Because you want to be able to identify any patterns. Also, acknowledging the truth of the matter is healing within itself.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Do reject all negative thoughts & self-talk that makes you feel bad about yourself. You\u2019re human and you have a heart that got hurt, which can cause grief and all grief takes time.<\/p>\n

Lastly, I hope you know that getting stuck in some area of life is pretty common because most human beings like some form of comfort and enjoy having a \u201cscript\u201d to life, so when the script changes, it can be difficult to adjust, but you can do it!<\/p>\n

With Love,<\/p>\n
