I was introduced to the coolest idea on how to improve my spiritual life, or life in general.
Basically you create a chart with two columns and several rows. In ONE column you write down things you need to improve on, and in the second, you write about how to resolve that issue or how to do better, and write down your answer! It's really cool, and the Lord gives HUGE blessings in helping and answering every question. Just him giving so many answers is a huge blessing beyond belief.
Here's how mine (Kinda) looks:
| What I need to improve on | How I can do better |
|---|---|
| Go to bed early | Have patience with yourself. Remember sleep affects all that you do. |
| Use talents - Practice | Say prayers of gratitude, be charitable. |
| Go to temple more often | Actually PLAN temple trips. Do family history |
| Prayers of gratitude lasting too long | Set 30 minutes a day aside on your knees for this |
| Etc... | Etc... |
But that's what I do!! It really helps clarify things, and we're nowhere near perfect, so actually completely following the list does take time, just be patient with yourself and get er done!!!
