Based on the my latest falls, I have committed to keep myself accounted for doing 3 (sheheim 4) things daily

1) Mindfulness (also known as meditation). To take 5 minutes a day and just live in the moment (there was a thread about it somewhere where someone posted about it)

2) I saw on the rules of Dov's Desparados, Dov wrote:
Rule 6 - We agree to take out at least 5 minutes every day to talk to Hashem - even if we feel it is not 'working'...


3) Staying in touch with friends DAILY!! That includes two things
  • Calling someone (that knows about my lust tendencies) and speaking to them
  • Emailing at least two friends


Feel free post any wisecracks you may have!

I checked the staying connected a few times in my mind. Gosh, I shudder to think where I'd be now if I didn't start posting and chatting. It literally has stopped me from acting out numerous times. I can't even contemplate what that means spiritually! Meditation? What a great idea! I will try to get that checked ASAP.

All three days of Yom Tov/Shabbos I did what I could, Meditation and talking to Hashem.

Last night, I could have done email and called, but I got swept up in helping clean up. I did chat with the good Doctor.

Missed almost everything yesterday, was travelling.

Done my emails for today, haven't spoken to anyone, including Hashem, yet. Will update later.
