Good Practises

     I was thinking today how we get into bad habits and how you have to make an effort at quitting or forming new ones. Here are some I thought of:

1. Not to make negative comments about people.
2. Not to make false accusations.
3. Not to imagine grandiose things about yourself.
4. Not to think negative thoughts about yourself.
5. Not to make negative comments about yourself.
6. Don't be so sure you are right.
7. Don't have an opinion on everything.

These are all subtractions, now here are some things to practise or make a habit of:

1. Think thoughts of thankfulness and praise.
2. Speak with encouragement and kindness.
3. Speak the truth.
4. When you see something that needs doing, do it.
5. Lighten someone's load. When you see someone working pitch in and help, especially someone close to you.
6. Pray for people, etc. as you go through your day.
7. Memorize scripture when doing something boring.

 Sometimes just subtracting something helps get us out of our rut.
