(On any given day I usually include four practices out of the six.) Back in 2017 I started a separate gratitude journal to list an item or two each day for which to be grateful. I discovered that the mental review of the day’s blessings was every bit as valuable as the writing. My outlook and attitude are the better for it!

For me, it’s the only way to live! I am looking forward to this series.
Blessings!

you are right..the basics of spiritual practices are a must in order to keep God at the center of our attention..for me its morning devotions..bible reading..along with other books that lift my soul to God..currently Putting an X through Anxiety and the Wonders of Solitude..all through the day having breath prayers and 23rd psalm ready to roll at a moments notice..prayers have changed from.
“please God, help so and so to get better”..etc to “thank you God for helping so and so..major peace from that change..peace
