How to: Delete Feelings

(1)     Determine your EXACT feelings for the individual. This step could take time and may have to be repeated….constantly.

(2)     Remove all memorabilia from your computer’s inbox files, keepsake box, and mental notes that you said you would hold onto until death…no, seriously!

(3)     Create a new mental note NOT to bring the person up in conversation!
         a.  Did the individual pop up thru someone else’s suggestion?  Refer back to number (1), then proceed to number (4)

(4)     Remember the true keeper of the heart and all the feelings He has for you — now remember that He would never harm you or give you a “creeper” to spend the rest of your life with.

 

(5)     Spend more time with friends and family to build up your relationships with the people closest to you and in turn, you are slowly but surely going through the deletion process.
         a.  Don’t like some of your friends and family right now because of recent events?  Refer to number (7)

(6)     Don’t spend more time with that person than you already have to.
         a.  Have an issue with that?  Ok, then stop reading and go back to pining or refer back to number (5)

(7)     Spend some serious time in prayer to God about everything you are going through and about where He wants your thought life.  Perhaps your energy and imagination should best be spent on other Kingdom-building tasks???

(8)     Remember that your fantasy/thought life has the power to take over the reality you should be living in!  Try not to drift into your daydreams; your life is literally passing you by!

(9)     Not to be vain…but, think about your feelings about yourself.  How do you feel, first, before getting into a relationship?
         a.  Not sure about how you feel about yourself?  Read Psalm 45:10-15; Psalm 139:15-18; then refer back to number (7)

(10)    Remember that ultimately, no one on this earth is good enough to make you go through the agony and despair of living life in confusion and self-loathing.  You were not created to always wonder about something you should have done differenly to gain the attentions and affections of someone else who wasn’t meant for you in the first place.
