       One thing that can be done is to re-review whatever you studied in your morning devotion. Remind yourself of what you went over, and that will bring it more permanence in your mind. Another thing is that book. We all have books we have on our to do list to read. They are sitting there on your book-self. You tell yourself, “Sometime I’ll read that book.” But it’s been there a couple years. Because it isn’t ‘new,’ the desire to read it is less. However, just pick it up and start reading it. If it’s not that good, then you can stop (and you can get rid of it by giving it away since you aren’t going to read it). Or, of your favorite books on your shelf, re-read a book. I love to re-read books personally, just as people re-watch their favorite movies. You see a few things you missed the first time you read it. Plus, you’ll be reminded of all the good things you probably had forgotten about. Sometimes I think our old-self tricks us into to just wanting to sit around and do nothing. The old-self wants to do this because it wants to have time to focus on what it wants to think about, which is negativity of all kinds.
