Yesterday’s post seems to have really struck a chord. Given yesterday’s surge in readers, it appears that many of us struggle with remembering. Among comments I received was another great tip from PD reader, Beth Kaiser. Beth wrote,
“Today’s message reminded me of a friend who, when there was a particularly pressing prayer need, such as someone having surgery, special test, job interview, etc,. he would wear his watch on the opposite wrist. Then every time he would look for his watch and find a bare wrist he would whisper a prayer for that need.”
The nice thing about this trigger is that once you start adapting to it, you can simple shift the watch back to the other wrist and again heighten your awareness. I did something similar a couple of years ago by wearing a necklace. I do not typically wear jewelry, so I was very conscious of it. Each time I noticed me noticing it I would breath a short prayer.
Last but not least, one other highly effective variation on this is to carry a trigger in your pocket like a prayer cross, special coin, or other small object. You can always mix up what pocket you keep it in. When I do this I will carry my trigger in my key pocket because it is the pocket I most frequently reach into during the day.
If you anyone has other helpful tips or triggers, please share them in the comments. I would love to hear form you.
Blessings
