Transformed by the renewing of your Mind- Rom 12

If you take verses 3 through 21 as examples of the mental transformation process to avoid letting the world squeeze us into it's mold- here is the list of directions:

Do not think highly of yourself
Think soberly
We are individually members of one another
We have differing gifts- use them
Love without hypocrisy
Cling to what is good
Kindly affectionate with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another
Diligent
Fervent in Spirit
Serving the Lord
Rejoicing in Hope
Patient in Tribulation
Steadfast in prayer
Distributing to the needs of the saints
Given to hospitality
Bless those who persecute you- not curse
Rejoice with those who rejoice- weep with those who weep
Be of the same mind toward one another
Do not set your mind on high things- associate with the humble
Do not be wise in your own opinion
Repay no one evil for evil
Have regard for good things
Live peaceably with all men- if possible
Do not avenge yourself
Overcome evil with good.

That is quite a mental exercise!
