Operate on yourself: Diagnose and treat yourself spiritually. 7. Live "As If": Act by faith even when your emotions aren't cooperating. 8. Bathe in the Dead Sea: Experience the buoyancy of biblical joy. 9. Practice the power of plodding: Effectively complete major tasks by persistently working in small increments. 10.
