Notes from CR 2/13/06

What leads to sin is the HALT method…

H.A.L.T.:

• Hungry

I am hungry and don’t feel well, which can lead to misled feelings in other areas… a short temper and exhaustion.

• Angry

Resentment of someone or something… leads to sin out of hurt feelings, maybe even revenge.

• Lonely

Despair and feelings of nobody caring… another form of resentment, which can lash out in the form of “nobody cares anyway, so I might as well…”

• Tired

It is more of a simple “not thinking things through.” Being tired can lead to anger, due to lack of sleep. Sometimes when people are tired, hunger is normally associated… and when we eat, normally more exhaustion follows from a full stomach, complicating the matter further.
