𝗖𝗵𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘆 Sacrifice: leaving your phone in another room after 8pm Growth: 3 Hail Marys when you struggle to keep custody of your eyes / thoughts

𝗛𝘂𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 once a week call or text someone you wronged & apologize. Even for slight offenses offer a compliment or praise to a quality you admire in a person 1-2x a week

𝗦𝗲𝗹𝗳𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 Spending less time in leisure, dedicating it to something like prayer, volunteering, etc One tip I’ve heard is set aside $20 a week (or less, or more) and give it to someone in need. No strings attached

𝗙𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲 intentionally make certain tasks more difficult as a penitential practice (like a pebble in your shoe, or fasting for lunch on workdays) Do not complain while doing the tasks above. Or speak only good about work you usually hate

𝗣𝗿𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 Take a few seconds before acting on important decisions or before responding to someone Sincerely consider what others say in conversation. Maybe ask more questions, or learn about their point of view more

𝗧𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 Eat healthier or less tasty food &/or intentionally reduce leisure time Finish meals more slowly don’t indulge when you have something good to eat, or fun to do (moderate it)

𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝘀𝘁𝘆 Don’t wear decorum that serves no practical use (a watch for style, nice jackets, revealing clothing, etc). Throughout the day, be ‘smaller’ - don’t show off, or act to draw attention Don’t curse, act/speak in a kind and pure manner only

𝗙𝗮𝗶𝘁𝗵 Don’t listen to secular music otw to work, & remove secular media that could damage faith Read documents from the councils or papal encyclicals, consume Catholic media, read the works of the saints

𝗛𝗼𝗽𝗲 Reflect on causes of worry in your life (the news *cough cough*) & cut them out, if not totally, then as much as possible Focus on a teaching you feel shaky about, & dedicate time each day to learn more about it

𝗗𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 Limit time spent on things you go to when you procrastinate or avoid important work to a specific time limit Also set a time limit for things you often avoid doing, not necessarily to complete it, but to do a little more than usual

𝗢𝗯𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 Prioritize achievement for your superior(s) before your own in all cases When your boss, parent, priest, etc (especially one you struggle to obey) requests something from you, assuming it’s ethical, always respond respectfully & in acceptance
