 Useful Habits for the Young People

1. “Early to bed, early to rise makes people healthy, wealthy and wise.” It is useful to go to bed and to wake up at the same time. And it’s very nice to realize that you have managed to do so many things!

2. Don’t say “tomorrow” if you can do it today. Try to do everything on time and without delay and postponement till “tomorrow”. Who knows, may be this “tomorrow” will never come. Huge problems appear because of many tiny things are not done on time.

3. Read books. Read just a page but every day. It is a useful habit to fill the day with some new content.

4. Keep away from idle talk. One ancient Russian proverb says: “Speaking is silver, silence is gold”. Usually a person starts to speak quickly and emotionally when he/she denounces someone.

5. Be moderate in eating. Moderation in eating helps in spiritual life. There is a motto: “Ne quid nimis (=Ничегосверхнормы Latin). Aggression starts with overeating.

9. Grow good thoughts. We need a special art to transform the negative things into positive ones. In a conflict we need to think over an excuse for another person. If we understand and forgive another person in a conflict situation, we both will benefit.

6. Use even the contrary winds. A person can say he has no mood to do something. But we create our mood ourselves. For example, we can’t change the rainy weather. But we can “change” ourselves: we put on a raincoat and we take an umbrella. For example, fish swims in salty water, but fish isn’t salty itself. So a Christian person should not mix with the evil of the world. For a Christian person an internal position in accordance with God’s commandments is very important and also he/she hopes for God’s help.

7. Every evening analyze the day. At the end of the day we should analyze our bad thoughts, words and acts so that not to repeat them again and again. If we don’t analyze, it stays in our soul as mud on our body. By analyzing a Christian person keeps the soul healthy every day. The more we pay attention to the health and purity of our body, the more we should pay attention to the health and purity of our soul.
