Discipline of Fasting
The discipline of fasting is very important. However, many people do not participate in it because of a narrow definition. I have fasted from food many times. But I find when I fast from food, not only am I useless at work, I am in a horrible mood and it is not very pleasant for my family. That does not seem to be the point of fasting. However, food is not the only thing that we can fast from. We can fast from coffee or Internet or television. I have found it particularly rewarding (and difficult) to fast from sarcasm and complaining. Consider fasting and be creative when you choose what you will fast from.
