I can view my temptations like a trip to the gym. For instance, I can use what I don’t like about myself, as a reminder to nurture what I want to like about myself. I don’t like being a reactive person. So, when tempted to do so, let me see it as an opportunity to practice patiently responding instead.
“A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.” Prov.15.1 “
