- Give up news and politics for 40 days. I promise you’ll miss nothing.
- Open the Bible to random passages in the morning and before bed, see how it applied to your day.
- Pray for those who hurt you and devote one decade of the Rosary for willing their good. If you don’t know the Rosary, it’s a great time to get to know it.
- Pray a novena for any cause.
- Unfollow anyone on social media who doesn't provide some positive or good to your life.
- Surround yourself with people you know who have a strong spiritual life. We are who we're around.
- Let go of past hurts, and give the anger to God.
- Do an examination of conscience at the end of every day.
- Show the ones you love how much you love them. Kindness is useless if it doesn't start at home.
