Game Changers - February Edition

What a month it has been! February! A lot has happened this month! We are officially half way through the Spring school semester! Mid term finals are complete and we are on spring break! I am starting my pre-practicum along with planning my summer and fall schedules. I am starting to think about graduate schools and graduate program. This month has just been a busy busy month full of all good!

I can't say anything bad about the month of February. This year was a leap year! We were able to get the chance to have twenty nine days instead of the regular twenty eight days. We had some beautiful weather and we were also able to  enjoy a couple of snow days. My February was filled with Love, Blessings, and Lessons.

LOVE

February is known as the month of love with valentine's day being at the center. The biggest thing you can do is love yourself. This makes so much of a difference, to see yourself through loving eyes. This can enhance your self esteem and make you an overall happier person. I am blessed I am slowly learning what it means to love yourself and to live for God. I lived too long loving others more than I loved myself. I've always put others before myself. Before you choose to love someone else, MAKE SURE YOU LOVE YOU! If you don't love yourself first you will suck the happiness and the energy from those around you. You will become a leach.

Something a lot of people try to do while finding themselves and loving themselves in getting into a relationship. You can't get into a relationship with anyone other than God when you are soul searching and are in the process of filling your life with love. You however do need to surround yourself with warm hearted people and remember to relax and focus on your own spirit, soul, and body. You need to make sure you are taking time for yourself. I am happy to say this is one of my accomplishments. Every month I continue to find myself surrounded more and more around those with big and loving hearts. This I cherish! I pray for these people one by one every night. I know God hand selected each and everyone of these individuals to make a difference in my life maybe in just this one season of my life or maybe in multiple seasons of my life.

TREAT YOURSELF

I think it is important as a single woman to spoiled yourself. I don't need anyone to buy me a gift for valentine's day, when I can just buy myself whatever I want. I think it is important to spoil yourself at least once a month. Buy yourself a few nice things. Maybe a new pair of shoes, a new bottle of perfume, a new dress, or a new outfit, or maybe even 5 panties from victoria's secret for $27.50. I really spoiled myself this month. I used to go to the store think, oh this would be nice for this person, or I should buy her this, and so on. I didn't shop for myself. It sounds selfish when saying it, but for the first time in my life, I don't feel obligated to buy other people things instead of buying for myself. I feel extremely blessed that I was able to spoil myself this month.

GIVING

However you must remember to give. Don't be too selfish. Every month I give what I can to my church. I don't feel obligated to give. I just want to be able to help someone else who may be struggling. I want my money to be circulated, God gave me a little extra cash or time, so I put it to use. I don't give all my extra money to my church. If I see a tip jar, I will alway try to leave a tip. If someone asks for a donation, I will donate. If there is a homeless man I will give them a couple of bucks. I also try to help my family. If I see my neices or nephews in need of something I will try to get it for them. I try to give when I can and where I can.

My life is changing. It is changing for the better every single day. I probably say this everytime I write, but I am just so excited to see what God has in store for me! I know he has great plans!
