Fasting does not always need to be about eating less food, it can be about fasting in attitudes or fasting by not doing this we normally do.
Here are some ideas for fasting this lent. They are from Pope Francis.
Fast from hurting words and say kind words.
Fast from sadness and be filled with gratitude.
Fast from anger and be filled with patience.
Fast from pessimism and be filled with hope.
Fast from worries and have trust in God.
Fast from complaints and contemplate simplicity.
Fast from pressures and be prayerful.
Fast from bitterness and fill your hearts with joy.
Fast from selfishness and be compassionate to others.
Fast from grudges and be reconciled.
Fast from words and be silent so you can listen.
I really like this list as it helps us to think about our attitudes we hold or the negative thought patterns we can fall in to.
