It is already February 2010. It seems like yesterday I was dealing with some type of holiday depression. Every year I give up something for Lent with my girlfriend. I am Jewish and she is Catholic. This year, I am giving up alcohol for the six-week time frame. I have been working up my excitement for this event. I have told people, so they can watch me, and I have already promised friends that I would be their designated driver.
I believe that having goals makes one look forward to something -- regardless what it is. Like starting a diet, one probably has an outfit that they are eyeing. Maybe learning a new trait for a new career. Or volunteering to see if one may want animals, etc. Life can be great, especially when one has goals to look forward to.
If you feel that giving up something for 40 days and 40 nights is too much, try a weekend fast, or a phone call to apologize or keep in contact with a friend or family member. These things will make you feel a lot better.
