1.Saying:”Hashem,I’m giving this to you right now.”
OR:”Please send me the clarity to deal with this properly…”
2.Reaching out to a lonely person on the phone.Cheering up
others works like a boomerang.
3.LAUGHING,with a friend,my kids,or an old funny comedy.
4.Singing or writing.
No specific order… just as needed.
Does anyone relate?

January 19, 2011 8:29 pm at 8:29 pm #730294bptParticipant* Do a cost/benefit anaylsis, to see if its really worth it
* Think: Would I do this if ____ were here with me?
A good example of cost / benefit was learnt on the stairclimber. It takes a mere 2 minutes to gobble down a danish and milkshake (say.. 1500 calories?)
It takes 20 minutes of really hard work to burn a measly 200 calories!
So.. considering how much time / effort it takes to wipe your slate clean, is it really worth the 2-5 fleeting minutes enjoyment of an averah?

January 21, 2011 3:41 am at 3:41 am #730299oomisParticipantSpeaking to Hashem from the heart.
Accepting the nisayon (have had quite a few, not the least of which was losing both my parents within a few months of each other, unexpectedly).
Resolving not to let it defeat me.
Trying to be a better person, to be worthy of the help I am asking from Hashem.
