If you find yourself in a state of sin, simply cultivate the opposite.
Sloth
Sloth is laziness or inaction. It is sitting when there is work to be done. It is expecting others to serve us. It is avoidance of those things that need to be done. While we often think of sloth as physical, sloth can also be refusal to do the spiritual work of self-reflection, healing, and change. Quite literally, sloth is sitting in your own filth and being ok with it.
The opposite of sloth is diligence. If you find yourself in a state of sloth, cultivate conscious action, diligence, and precision. Pay close attention to each task. Ask God for direction and to teach you about how you can improve. Each day take small but meaningful action. God will add in the x-factor to multiply your effort.
