Walk to Freedom – Living a Lust Free Lifestyle Sample

Talk About It

Every person I have ever met has had one of those days when several things didn’t go the way he or she expected. I know you have had them, too. You didn’t get the job, were passed over for the promotion, or got stuck in traffic. Bad days happen to all of us.

When you have a day like this, you need to have a friend and a plan. You need to talk about it. You need to get out in the open with someone about how unfair your situation is. Then you need to have a plan to do some physical activity to give your body some positive chemicals. Being heard and getting some energy released in a healthy way won’t change your circumstances, but they can certainly change your mindset.

If you don’t have a plan, lust has a plan for you—especially on the roughest days. Lust will send you on a goose chase to find someone to look at or to have someone look at you. Lust will show you an opportunity to get you to view images or even act out in worse behaviors. Lust’s voice will feel familiar with the promise of feeling better afterwards. Lust loves to talk to the vulnerable. 

So when you have bad days, have a plan to talk to someone and get a physical release. Talking to God and your spouse (if you’re married) can be a great part of that plan. Being proactive can help you in the battle of lust. Being reactive can lead you back into lust and give you false comfort. So plan ahead and stay lust-free.

2. On this bad day, what were some of the stronger feelings you had?

3. Who is the person(s) you need to talk to on a bad day?

4. What is a healthy physical activity you can do on very little notice to release energy?
