OTHER LENTEN DISCIPLINES
These mostly have to do with personal lifestyle. Why would these be appropriate for this season? It's because our faith tells us that Lent is a set-apart season, to prepare us to celebrate Easter. Observing these small disciplines helps us to remember that. They all require us to pay attention and exercise self-denial, and help us to think about the One whom we seek to follow and honor, and who denied hmself for our sake.
* During Lent, if you don't need it, don't buy it.
* Throw or give away 40 for the 40 days of Lent.
* Do 40 days of home organization.
* No gossiping.
* No eating after dinner
* No soda.
* Don't eat out.
* Don't complain.
* Replace 30 minutes of TV with 30 extra minutes/devotional time.
* Say 3 nice things to 3 people each day.
* Send a note of appreciation or encouragement to someone.
* Sit in silence for 10 minutes each day.
* Pay anonymously for someone's coffee, or meal, or turnpike toll.
* Fast for one meal a week and donate the cost to the Food Pantry.
* "Fast" from the notion that nothing you do makes any difference.
