Pray. Learn to deny yourself in ways within reach right now - skip a meal, get and stay on a schedule, do things for people that are inconvenient. Decide to stop whining. Think positively even in negative circumstances. Read the book, The Celebration of Discipline, by Richard Foster.

I had to question orders, it is part of the MDMP. Remember that "Mens sana corpore sana." Good Luck
